Benefits of the OmniStack
6100 Series
High network availability
Alcatel understands the importance of high
network uptime. That is why the OmniStack 6124
and OmniStack 6148 distributed switching fabric
and redundant stacking loop forwards packets
even when individual switching units fail. The
OmniStack 6124 and 6148 also support an
external backup power supply. In addition, they
can connect to network backbone switches via
redundant gigabit uplinks. The OmniStack 6100
series supports an optional redundant
management module that increases the reliability
of the entire stack. Together, these features
achieve a dial-tone standard of excellence that is
critical to successful data and voice convergence
in the enterprise.
Convergence readiness
Whether you need to differentiate services for
data applications or implement VoIP, your
network infrastructure must be ready to
prioritize real time traffic. Even as Layer 2
switches, the OmniStack 6100 series supports
traffic allocation to COS based on 802.1p and
DSCP*. This allows easy implementation and
easy to manage end-to-end QoS throughout the
network. Add the Alcatel OmniPCX 4400 and
Alcatel’s Reflexes
TM
IP phones and you have the
best converged network solution available!
Adaptive networking
As networks migrate to converged data and
voice networks, technical infrastructures must
scale to support rapid upgrades. When the
number of users increases, the OmniStack 6124
and 6148 facilitate a smooth upgrade path by
simply adding switching units connected by high
speed stacking links. To create a high-speed link
to a server or high-speed uplink, 10/100 ports can
be aggregated. Up to four full duplex 10/100
ports can be aggregated gradually to create an
800 Mbps pipe. A distributed switching fabric
guarantees enough power for local switching.
Simplified management
Simplifying network management decreases the
cost of ownership. Using industry standard
SNMP traps and RMON probes, the Alcatel
OmniStack 6100 series provides strong
supervision and easy configuration through a
web-based management interface. Management
is optimized with the Alcatel converged network
management platform, OmniVista 2000.
OmniVista is compatible with leading products
like HP OpenView and Computer Associates
Network IT.
