 Feature-rich Ethernet Switch platforms leveraging next-generation technology optimized for the Branch Office and smaller Wiring Closets. Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 3600 products sport the performance and agility to excel in conventional IP network deployments in additional to enabling the edge for Fabric-based solutions.
The new Ethernet Routing Switch 3600 products leverage the latest advances in network switching architecture design to maximize hardware performance and software capability. These products offer a significant evolutionary step for the entry-level Ethernet Routing Switch 3000 Series, particularly in terms of value and future-ready flexibility, and have been optimized for the Enabled Edge role.
The primary purpose of a network is to interconnect users with their applications, and the best networks do this reliably, efficiently, and with a high degree of agility. Avaya's SDN Fx™ architecture empowers companies to extend the virtualized Ethernet Fabric beyond the Data Center, to the very edge of the network, delivering powerful integration of users, applications, and devices.
The new Ethernet Routing Switch 3600 (ERS 3600) products are an important part of this strategy, delivering Fabric Attach capabilities in a cost-effective form-factor. The ERS 3600 products can be deployed standalone, or configured as a Stackable Chassis system of up to eight units/400 ports, supported by up to 192Gbps of virtual backplane bandwidth.
Supporting modern Enterprise applications requires a flexible and highly reliable infrastructure, and the ERS 3600 products help deliver against this challenge. These are highly effective products, fit-for-purpose for conventional Routed IP connectivity requirements and future-ready for the evolving and emerging softwaredefined needs of tomorrow. Offering feature-rich support for both IP- and Fabric-based Edge networking gives businesses the flexibility to satisfy all common deployment scenarios, with the added advantage of an easy transitioning between the two.
Avaya brings unique differentiation to the Branch Office and small-to-medium Wiring Closet role: with a flexible, non-blocking "Stackable Chassis" architecture. The proprietary Avaya "Flexible Advanced Stacking Technology" (FAST) protocol - implemented over dedicated Quality-of-Service aware interfaces - enables a resilient, high-performance solution that leverages a shortest path algorithm to minimizes transit hops in a multi-device configuration by providing active-active bi-directional traffic flows. The Avaya Stackable Chassis technology can offer the same performance, resiliency, and ease of serviceability attributes of a traditional Chassis solution, but at a lower, pay-as-you-grow price point. Notable is the ability to swap-out an individual failed unit without the requirement to pre- or post-stage operating system software or configuration; providing equivalency to module replacement for a modular Chassis system.
The ERS 3600 products are purpose-built to support the demands of today's entry-level Wiring Closet with high-density, full-featured Gigabit Ethernet. It alleviates infrastructure complexity and reduces operational burden with a truly scalable and strategic architecture; it is designed to deliver a high-performance Enabled Edge solution that fully optimizes investments in next-generation application software.
Leveraging both next-generation hardware and software technology provides a solution that is ready to support both today's requirements and tomorrow's emerging needs. The ERS 3600 products enable businesses to future-proof with a highly software-definable network virtualization solution. |
