Today's enterprise networks require Gigabit Ethernet
switches that are feature-rich, reliable, and capable of
supporting converged applications at low cost of ownership.
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.
This family takes advantage of the extensive security and network management features
provided by the Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista Network Management System (NMS).
