The OS9000 family provides an easy and economical way to upgrade or
deploy a new Ethernet network. The large number of ports makes the
OmniSwitch 9000s suitable for two- or three-tier network designs. This is
possible because of the high performance capability and density of GigE and
10GigE. The OS9000s also future proofs the network with native and full
support of simultaneous IPv4 / IPv6 for addressing migration from IPv4 to
IPv6 or new IPv6 deployments.
The OS9000s are engineered to be deployed in the:
The OS9000 switch family addresses the needs of
converged networks: high availability, wire-speed
performance, high density GigE and 10GigE, and
improved network response time.
