Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise launches the OmniSwitch 9912

High-capacity modular chassis designed for large core networks.

Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise introduces the Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch® 9912, the latest high-capacity modular chassis in the OmniSwitch family.
As performance requirements in Enterprise Core and Data centre networks continue to increase, the OmniSwitch 9912 provides a robust foundation for high-bandwidth autonomous networks. It offers seamless integration with the existing OmniSwitch portfolio to support large-scale virtualised networks using modern and scalable fabric technologies such as the industry-recognised Shortest Path Bridging (SPB).
With OmniSwitch 9912, customers can protect their investment by future-proofing their core network build-out using a high-capacity switching fabric and high-density 100G line cards to meet bandwidth requirements. Maximum flexibility, with a range of port speeds from 1G to 100G, allows networks to be designed to last for years, while growing incrementally as requirements increase.
The OmniSwitch 9912 lets operators build a resilient network core with full redundancy and multiple connectivity options to create large campus networks. Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 9912 with AOS 8.9R3 benefits include:
• High-capacity, modular, flexible 12-slot chassis
• High-bandwidth availability with port speeds from 1G to 100G
• 51.2Tbps switching capacity
• Investment protection
• Flexible deployment options for migration
• Extended security
• A future-ready solution
“We are excited to announce the addition of the Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 9912 into the OmniSwitch portfolio. This offering creates new opportunities across all regions and vertical markets for mid to large customers, helping them protect their existing investments with flexible solutions that allow them to grow as needed” says, Stephen Robineau, EVP, Network Business Division, Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise and President of ALE USA.
