The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch® 6900 fixed Core LAN and Data Center (DC) switches are compact, high-density 10, 25, 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) platforms. They offer high performance aand extremely low latency Layer-2 and Layer-3 switching for campus and DC Fabric networks. They are designed for the most demanding software-defined operations in virtualized or physical networks.

OmniSwitch 6900s can be positioned as Top- ofRack (ToR) or spine switches in DC environments,
or as core and aggregation devices in campus networks. They support a wide range of protocols and programable interface (API) for building ALE’s autonomous Service Defined Network or overlay networks based on Software Defined Network architectures.

The OmniSwitch 6900 product family offers a very high port density, with up to 128 x 10 GigE, 80 x 25 GigE and up to 32 x 40/100 GigE ports in a 1RU form factor. The Virtual Chassis1 feature extends the modularity and reliability of connectivity to address any size of virtualized, highly secured modern and autonomous networks. MACsec is also supported on specific OS6900 models for mission critical and encrypted communication networks. The OmniSwitch 6900 product family leverages an energy-efficient model with leading low power consumption, making them the most efficient and versatile switches in their class.
