The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6900 family delivers 10, 25, 40 and 100 GigE switching in a 1RU form factor, with up to 32 × 100 GigE ports.

Deploy it as a top-of-rack or spine switch in the data center, or as a core and aggregation switch in the campus. Virtual Chassis (up to 6 switches) and BGP-EVPN-VXLAN keep the network resilient and ready for software-defined operations.

Key features

100G Core Performance

Up to 6.4 Tb/s non-blocking switching with 1/10/25/40/100G interfaces and latency under 650 ns, in a 1RU chassis for the campus core and data center spine/leaf.

SPB Network Virtualization

Shortest Path Bridging creates automated, self-healing network fabrics with built-in multi-tenancy.

Data Center Optimized

Lossless virtual output queuing and RoCEv2 support carry iSCSI, NAS and RDMA traffic with zero packet loss. A hardware VXLAN VTEP gateway links overlay and underlay.

Visibility and Automation

sFlow v5, RMON, port mirroring and signature-based application recognition show what runs on the network. A full RESTful API and Python/Bash scripting automate operations.
