Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 8800 Series
Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 8800 Series
Resilient, flexible, and scalable, the Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 8800 delivers full-featured network virtualization, exceptional value and cost-effectiveness.
The Avaya ERS 8800 offers exciting new possibilities with the Avaya VENA Fabric Connect capability, based on the Shortest Path Bridging (SPB) standard from the IEEE. Leveraging the power of this standardized technology, together with unique, value-added extensions, Avaya delivers a solution that is genuinely enterprise-ready and truly optimized. The Fabric Connect solution extends beyond the data center into the core of the campus: it offers simplified configuration and management, including efficient service activation free of error and delay, optimized traffic separation that enables multi-tenant partitioning and regulatory compliance, and delivers the industry’s only optimized end-to-end Cloud architecture. Avaya VENA Fabric Connect creates a new approach to data networking, one that helps enterprises fully reap the benefits of virtualization, in a more simplified and cost-effective manner. This technology utilizes a new, end-to-end enterprise-wide architecture to help CIOs and IT departments meet the surging demand for new content and business collaboration applications.
