    1 The OmniSwitch 8800 The 18-slot OmniSwitch 8800 (OS8800) switch offers high performance 10/100 Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet capabilities, as well as embedded server load balancing for enterprise requirements. It provides non-blocking Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, carrier-class availability, multi-layer security, and intelligent switching and routing services—all at wire speed.

  • Page 16: Application Example

    Application Example The OmniSwitch 8800 Application Example The following application example shows one of the many ways OmniSwitch 8800 switches can be used in an Enterprise network setting. • Core Switch. In this example, an OS8800 is used as the core switch. Because the example network has a high-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet backbone, the Network Interface (NI) cards in the chassis will use 10 Gigabit Ethernet Network Interface (10GNI) modules.
