OmniSwitch 9900 Series

OmniSwitch 9900 Series
Modular LAN Chassis
The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch® 9900 series
Modular LAN chassis platform is a high-capacity,
high-performance modular Ethernet LAN switch
that is field-proven in enterprise and data center
environments. As the OmniSwitch 9900 series runs on
the Alcatel-Lucent Operating System (AOS), a stateof-
the-art programmable operating system designed
for Software-Defined Networking (SDN), it delivers
uninterrupted network uptime with non-stop Layer-2
and Layer-3 forwarding.
The OmniSwitch 9900 is a high density, multi Terabit
modular platform. The platform can linearly scale switching capacity with
virtual chassis technology providing tens of Terabit of aggregate switching capacity. In particular its modular
design provides investment protection allowing for scaling out with future inline upgrades offering high density
1G/2.5G/5G/10G/25G/40G/50G/100G interfaces.
The OmniSwitch 9900 series is ideally suited for enterprise core, aggregation and edge environments. Its
resilient platform architecture providing control plane and data plane redundancy together with unparalleled
scalability helps meet demanding resiliency and throughput requirements for evolving enterprises of all sizes.The
OmniSwitch 9900 series offers a broad range of modules supporting 1 GigE, 10 GigE and 40/100 GigE ports in an
11-RU chassis form factor, and it offers highest 1 GigE/10GigE port density in its class.
The OmniSwitch 9900 offers the highest density of Power over Ethernet (PoE) in its class, OS9907 scaling up to
10800 W of inline PoE power and OS9912 scales up to 7920 W. The gigabit and multi-gigabit PoE line card supports
8 ports of HPoE (75 W) and 40 ports of 802.3at PoE (30 W). All PoE-enabled ports are IEEE 802.3af/at compliant.
The OmniSwitch 9900 leverages an energy-efficient model with leading low power consumption, making it an
efficient and versatile switch.
