To stay competitive, 21st century businesses must take advantage of new
networking technologies that deliver quick and secure access to vital information
from any location. Customers expect and demand that customizable user-centric
services be securely provided over an always available environment, and
they want to be able to access it from anywhere such as over the Internet.
Most enterprise networks have Ethernet-based infrastructures where
workgroup switches supply the bulk of switch ports needed, making them
an ideal target for performance improvements at attractive prices. With the
latest workgroup switch technologies from Alcatel-Lucent, it’s possible to
provide power-over-Ethernet across your campus for true plug-and-play
connectivity for wireless LAN access points, IP phones, and other network devices.
Alcatel-Lucent’s switches also take advantage of and exploit network
intelligence improving user security while reducing operating expenses,
capital expenditures, training and day-to-day management costs.
Alcatel-Lucent has designed the OmniStack 6200 (OmniStack 6200) family of
stackable Ethernet switches to address enterprise and residential networking
needs. They are fixed configuration, 10/100 copper or 100BaseX fiber layer-2
switches that deliver the advanced features and services demanded by users.
These 12-, 24- or 48-port Fast Ethernet switches provide the same advanced
capabilities previously available only in Gigabit-class switches, making them
an excellent, inexpensive edge device.
The OmniStack 6200s provide wire rate layer-2 forwarding and advanced
layer 2-4 services. They also securely support advanced quality of service
with advanced user and traffic classification capabilities for exceptional
video, voice, and data performance.
Every OmniStack 6200 switch comes with two 10/100/1000 copper ports that
can be used with standard Ethernet cabling for fault-tolerant dedicated
stacking links or as Gigabit ports in a standalone configuration. They also
come with two additional Gigabit combo ports that provide ports for
upstream connectivity to the network or to high-speed servers. Combo ports
provide the user the ability to attach via standard copper Ethernet cabling or
fiber using industry standard optical transceivers.
A compact, one unit (1U) high form factor, all in one stackable design and a
comprehensive set of features makes the OmniStack 6200 perfect for:
• Enterprise workgroups / LAN wiring closets
• Edge deployments, small-/medium-sized businesses and branch offices
• Power-over-Ethernet
• Residential and business Ethernet access distribution devices
(per floor or per building MDU) for triple play services delivery.
