Today's enterprise networks require Gigabit Ethernet
switches that are feature-rich, reliable, and capable of
supporting converged applications at low cost of ownership.
This family takes advantage of the extensive security and network management features
provided by the Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista Network Management System (NMS).
The OmniSwitch 6850 series, similar to the existing Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch products, uses the
Alcatel-Lucent Operating System (AOS), which ensures an easy and economical way to upgrade or
deploy a new Ethernet network. The flexible configuration options offered by the OmniSwitch 6850
family makes it suitable for a small/medium network in the core or at the edge of a large network.
Also, the OmniSwitch 6850 protects your investment with native support of IPv4 and IPv6 switching.
