Le Sfide
The agency struggled with ever-increasing demands for network capacity. At the same time, the switches in place weren’t sufficiently hardened to withstand the extreme environmental conditions inherent in the military mission.
Azione
The agency turned to Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise for a robust, modernized solution. The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch® 6865 is a ruggedized, advanced Layer 3, scalable Ethernet switch, designed to operate reliably in harsh environments. These highbandwidth switches support missioncritical applications that require wider operating temperature ranges, high security, reliability, performance and ease of management.
