Alcatel flips the switch on 10Gb Ethernet
Alcatel next month will throw its hat into the 10-Gigabit Ethernet ring with the debut of its OmniSwitch 9000 line. The enterprise datacenter-targeted 10Gb Ethernet switches address the need for better QoS, scalability, security, and VoIP support. The OmniSwitch 9700 has a 10-slot chassis, and the 9800 has an 18-slot chassis; components on both are hot swappable and fully redundant. The switches have built-in support for IPv4, IPv6, multicasting, and server clustering and high-availability features. OmniSwitch 9000 chassis prices range from $3,995 to $23,995; a 24-port 10/100/1000Gb Ethernet blade is $7,995; a two-port 10Gb Ethernet blade (without optics) is $10,495.
