ONETOUCH NETWORK MANAGEMENT
The OmniSwitch 6850s are part of Alcatel-Lucent’s OmniSwitch
family – which includes core, stackable / modular edge,
and wireless LAN (WLAN) switches - that uses the AOS and
are managed by the Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista Network
Management System for simplified OneTouch manageability. By
offering the same operating system and network management
system (NMS) across all Alcatel-Lucent platforms, an existing
user is familiar with the product’s management from the very
first day, reducing the cost of ownership by eliminating the time
needed for training on a different operating system or
management solution.
OmniSwitch administrators have three types of management
method interfaces to choose from – a command line interface
(CLI), Alcatel-Lucent WebView for web-based management,
or Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista 2500 and 2700 network
management applications that offer “one touch” point-and-
click technology. Regardless of the interface selected, each is
easy to use and offers a common look and feel for every device.
PERFORMANCE
The OmniSwitch 6850 family supports real-time voice, data, and video
applications. The switches provide first packet wire-speed classification and
processing for all packets – giving a noticeable performance boost to
converged enterprise networks. The OS6850s support advanced services such
as 10GigE, PoE and IPv6, future proofing today’s investment to support the
demands of tomorrow.
