Alcatel Carrier Internetworking Solutions 6800 - Manual (Page 6)

Advanced QoS
Quality of service is vital for ensuring mission critical applications receive expedited forwarding
which reduces the chance of critical data flows getting lost, interrupted, or experiencing excessive
delay. The OS6800 provides the necessary hardware queues, intelligence and granularity to properly
identify, mark, and prioritize data flows ensuring mission critical applications run smoothly.
Simplified Manageability
The group mobility feature inherent in the OS6800 also provides plug and play mobility for the
wired user by removing physical limitations. The OS6800 can use device information, data traffic or
user identity to automatically and dynamically keep the user connected seamlessly to their resources,
regardless of their location on the campus. Marketing, finance, operations, and sales could all be in
the same meeting at a common physical location, yet have secure and dynamic access to their
respective network resources.
Along with improved productivity and greater user satisfaction,
group mobility allows self-service, reducing IT operational costs.
Once initial rules for classification are defined, further configuration
or intervention is not necessary.
The OS6800’s virtual chassis design (up to eight switches) provides
all the benefits of managing a chassis-based switch including:
single IP address, simple and quick software upgrades and switch
configuration changes, and a common look and feel with the
modular OmniSwitch solutions.
Your IT person abandoned web management a long time ago
because it was too slow, inefficient, and incapable. WebView is
different since updates happen instantly across the network,
removing the biggest obstacle to simple, fast management.
Alcatel’s WebView gives true “real-world” capabilities back to web
browser element management and allows IT staff of varying abilities
to quickly master and configure new features. The web interface
provides point and click ease with quick access to “help.” WebView
is full featured and can configure and manage all switch features.
