High Performance for GigE & 10GigE

OmniSwitch 9000

System Architecture features

Wire-rate processing & forwarding :
Each module to provide up to 35.7 Mpps (i.e. aggregated bandwidth of 48 Gbps)
Two module categories: High Performance & High Density

High Performance modules: GNI-C24, GNI-P24, GNI-U24 & XNI-U2

Performance modules to provide full forwarding rate, simultaneously on all
ports

High Density module: XNI-U6

High density modules to provide the best performance / cost
Each port is capable of line rate operation but aggregated performance limited to
the module overall performance (35.7Mpps)
Traffic over-subscription handled with additional smart QoS capabilities (L1-L4)
=> High Density QoS can be operating in trusted, untrusted or user-configurable
mode

Basic configuration guidelines

OmniSwitch 9000

Selection of the Chassis

Based on how many modules are required: 8 or 16 ?
8 modules => OS9700
16 modules
=> OS9800
=> Requirement may include some available slots for future growth

Selection of the redundancy option

Total (CMM and PSU) or Partial (CMM only or PSU only) ?
CMM Redundancy is highly recommended
Optimal throughput based on both Fabric Modules installed (load
sharing)

Selection of the Power

Based on what type of power source is available: AC or DC ?

Basic configuration guidelines

OmniSwitch 9000

Selection of Modules
Based on interface requirement

GigE copper(RJ45 x 24)

=>
OS9-GNI-C24
GigE copper w/ PoE (RJ45 x 24)
=>
OS9-GNI-P24
GigE universal
(SFP x 24)
=>
OS9-GNI-U24
10GigE universal (performance)
(XFP x 2)
=>
OS9-XNI-U2
10GigE universal (density)
(XFP x 6)
=>
OS9-XNI-U6

Selection of pluggables for universal modules

Based on media (MMF, SMF, Copper) and distance to achieve
SFP (GigE) SX, LX, LH, CWDM, 100FX, Copper (10/100/1000)
XFP (10GigE)
