Alcatel Carrier Internetworking Solutions 6800 - Manual (Page 4)

The OS6800 family uses a modular external backup power solution that provides redundant chassis
power on a 1:1 basis.
The OmniSwitch 6800 family is Alcatel’s first advanced, fixed-configuration Gigabit Ethernet to the
desktop family of switches. They complement the existing portfolio of Alcatel enterprise fixed-
configuration workgroup switches which includes:
• OmniStack 6100 family switches: layer 2+ 10/100 stackable
• OmniStack 6300 family switches: layer 2+ 10/100/1000 standalone
• OmniSwitch 6600 family switches: layer 3 10/100 stackable
Alcatel’s fixed configuration switches are part of the larger Alcatel enterprise portfolio that includes the
modular-based OmniSwitch 7700, 7800, and 8800 series of core switches. Together, this portfolio
offers a complete edge-to-core solution with high availability, intelligent performance, and enhanced
security in an easy to manage, flexible and scalable package.
Alcatel understands the need to offer investment protection and provides a limited lifetime hardware
warranty on OS6100, OS6300, OS6600, and OS6800 families of switches.
Gigabit Ethernet
Many people get stuck on the term “Gigabit to the Desktop” because their focus is
purely on speed and not on the other tangible benefits this class of switch can offer.
The OS6800 provides an advanced, high performance feature set that is secure
and easy to manage and provides the necessary network services to ensure the
enterprise’s mission critical applications are always available and meet user
satisfaction needs.
Future proof
The OS6800s address the need for future proofing and Gigabit migration because they
maximize the bandwidth capabilities of existing cabling plants, support legacy 10/100
devices, and offer room for growth with optional 10G connectivity. With the value the
OS6800 offers, a business can invest in the future at prices it can afford today.
Additionally, the OS6800’s capabilities are not just for desktop connectivity. With a
160 Gbps switching capacity and a 40 Gbps stacking bandwidth, the OS6800 can be
a very cost-effective distribution layer, server aggregation, or core switch.
