High Performance for GigE and 10GigE • System architecture to feature • wire-rate processing and forwarding • each module provides up to 35.7 Mpps (i.e. aggregated bandwidth of 48 Gbps) • two categories of modules: performance and high density • Performance oriented modules: GNI-C24, GNI-P24, GNI-U24 and XNI-U2 • performance modules to provide full forwarding rate, simultaneously on all ports • High density oriented 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
FansRedundancy CMMRedundancy PowerRedundancy High Availability • Physical redundancy • absence of any single point of failure • redundant CMMs (CPU and Fabric) • redundant PSUs • redundant fans (on the back) • Logical redundancy (AOS) • distributed software • each module features a CPU • most layer-2 and basic layer-3 processes distributed on the modules themselves • foundation of the Smart Continuous Switching • large number of open standards (IEEE and RFCs) for resilient designs • link aggregate (IEEE 802.3ad), Spanning Tree (IEEE 802.1D, 802.1w and 802.1s) • VRRP, routing protocols for IPv4, IPv6 and IPX • hardware-based mechanism to secure the control plane • integrated DoS protection (early discard) and L2 storm control

System Architecture • Principle of operation for distributed processing • each module provides a high performance CPU • CMM’s CPU responsible for management and overall coordination • module’s CPU responsible for most operations • management bus is a dedicated Gigabit Ethernet bus • each module’s CPU has a direct connection with each CMM’s CPU
3 How to Effectively Sell
How to Effectively Sell • Three types of network upgrades • end-to-end Alcatel-Lucent solutions • applications, IP networks and transmission products • network element upgrades in large enterprise • i.e. wiring closet or core or wireless LAN or security,.. • network upgrades in medium enterprise • i.e. wiring closet and core and wireless LAN • Understand the drivers and propose a better network • leverage list price advantage to propose a higher performance • leverage list price advantage to propose a higher availability design • leverage list price advantage to propose mobility or security services
How to Effectively Sell (2) • Financial arguments • best price for a highly available, high security L2/L3 modular solution • no hidden costs with SW licenses (Foundry, 3COM) or daughter-card (Cisco) • lower operations costs (network operations, maintenance, power, cooling) • longer lifecycle (future proof standards support – IPv6) • Technical arguments • high availability for non-stop operation (Smart Continuous Switching) • open standards and ready for the future (IPv6) • best-of-breed security, fully integrated in the OmniVista 2770 Quarantine Manager (OV2770) • large port density on GigE (384 ports) and 10GigE (96 ports), up to 570 Mpps
