OmniSwitch 6920 High Performance Switch for Data Centers

Designed for AI/HPC data centers and scalable campus networks, this high performance switch supports advanced OmniFabric architecture.

As data centers evolve to support High performance campus, the demand for high-density 400G switching has never been greater. The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch® 6920-D32 meets this challenge head-on. This compact 1RU platform delivers Layer-2 and Layer-3 performance with ultra-low latency, offering 32 × 400G ports within an energy-efficient, high-density design. Engineered for Core LAN and Data Center environments, this high performance switch provides the scalability and throughput required for most demanding workloads.

Versatile and robust, the OmniSwitch 6920-D32 can serve as a spine, super-spine, or border-leaf switch, enabling flexible fabric architectures. With support for RoCEv2 and Priority Flow Control, it ensures fully lossless transport—ideal for storage-intensive and real-time applications. The platform is officially certified for Microsoft Azure Local, ensuring seamless integration with hybrid and edge environments. Additionally, ALE’s industry-proven Shortest Path Bridging (SPB) implementation powers a resilient, scalable fabric for multi-tenancy and advanced VPN services.
