OmniSwitch 6920-D32
High-Performance AI/HPC Data Center and Campus
Network OmniFabric Switch
The growing demand to support High-Performance
Computing (HPC), AI workloads, disaggregated
storage and hyperscale architectures is accelerating
the need for high-density 400G switching. Enterprise
data centers are also evolving toward server farms with
higher-speed access (10G → 25G/100G), which in turn drives
the requirement for significantly greater bandwidth in the network backbone.
The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch® 6920-D32 is a compact, high-density 400 Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for
Core LAN and Data Center environments. This 1RU platform delivers exceptional performance with very low
latency for both Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, meeting the needs of modern data center and campus fabric
deployments. It provides 32 × 400G ports and is built on an energy-efficient architecture that offers leading
power consumption in its class.
The OmniSwitch 6920-D32 is versatile enough to function as a spine, super-spine or border-leaf switch. With
support for RoCEv2 and PFC, it enables a fully lossless fabric. The platform is also officially certified for Microsoft
Azure Local, ensuring seamless interoperability with Azure Local’s physical network requirements for hybrid and
edge environments. In addition, ALE’s Shortest Path Bridging (SPB) implementation on this platform delivers a
robust, scalable fabric for VPN services and multi-tenancy.
