Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise Launches the OmniSwitch 9912, a New High-Capacity Modular Chassis for Future-Ready Networks
SINGAPORE, Oct. 23, 2023 -- Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, a leading provider of communications, networking and cloud solutions tailored to customers’ industries, introduces the Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 9912, the latest high-capacity modular chassis in the OmniSwitch family.
As performance requirements in enterprise core and data center networks continue to increase, the OmniSwitch 9912 provides a robust foundation for high-bandwidth autonomous networks. It offers seamless integration with the existing OmniSwitch portfolio to support large-scale virtualized networks using modern and scalable fabric technologies such as the industry-recognized Shortest Path Bridging (SPB).

Maximum flexibility, with a range of port speeds from 1G to 100G, allows networks to be designed to last for years, while growing incrementally as requirements increase.
The OmniSwitch 9912 lets operators build a resilient network core with full redundancy and multiple connectivity options to create large campus networks. Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 9912 with AOS 8.9R3 benefits include:
- High-capacity, modular, flexible 12-slot chassis
