Swift Switch 9900

The On AccessSwift Switch 9900series Modular LAN chassis platform is a high-capacity, high-performance modular Ethernet LAN switch that is field-proven in enterprise, service provider and data center environments. As the Swift Switch 9900 series runs on the On Access Operating System (AOS), a state-of-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 Swift Switch 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 in the future with inline upgrades offering high density 25G/40G/50G/100G interfaces.

The Swift Switch 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 Swift Switch 9900 series offers a broad range of modules supporting 1 GigE, 10 GigE and 40 GigE ports in an 11-RU chassis form factor, and it offers highest 1 GigE/10GigE port density in its class. The platform is also ready to support 100 GigE.

The Swift Switch 9900 offers the highest density of Power over Ethernet (PoE) in its class, scaling up to 10080 W of inline PoE power. The 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 Swift Switch 9900 leverages an energy-efficient model with leading low power consumption, making it an efficient and versatile switch.

TheOn Access Intelligent Fabric technology is also enabled on the Swift Switch 9900 Modular LAN chassis. The technology brings true network flexibility ensuring business agility. It not only delivers a resilient, high-capacity infrastructure, but it also delivers automated deployment and self-healing network capabilities to reduce overhead in IT operations. The technology platform is built upon standard IEEE protocols and key innovations such as Shortest Path Bridging (802.1aq/SPB-M) for bridged and routed services, Multiple VLAN Registration Protocol (MVRP), dynamic Virtual Network Profiles (vNP), 802.3ad/802.1AX (LACP) and Auto- Fabric for automatic protocol and topology discovery.
