Vendor statement of competitive advantages
■ The OptiStar® EdgeSwitch is a high-capacity IP switch/router that enables interconnection of
Fibre Channel storage area networks (SAN) over IP metropolitan (MAN) and wide area networks
(WAN). It provides Layer 2 switching and Layer 3 routing at the network edge, supporting
interconnectivity between 1-Gbps Fibre Channel, OC-48c/STM-16c Packet over SONET/SDH,
OC-12c/STM-4c Packet over SONET/SDH, OC-3c/STM-1c Packet over SONET/SDH, and
Gigabit Ethernet (GbE). Key applications include off-site data backup and disaster recovery, data
replication and mirroring, and storage hosting.
■ The OptiStar EdgeSwitch offers a unique combination of storage, IP, and optical features,
including Lucent's exclusive patent-pending flow control for reliable long-distance transport up to
and beyond 35,000 km. It uses efficient and cost-effective point-to-multipoint routing capabilities
with extremely high performance and scalability while integrating FC fabric services, zoning, and
management.
■ The OptiStar EdgeSwitch can deliver solutions with significant CapEx and OpEx savings over
alternative solutions, with unparalleled performance-over-distance capabilities. Domain
Virtualization™ technology is being developed by Lucent to leverage the existing SAN
infrastructure by enabling selective sharing and/or segregation of SAN fabrics. This feature
improves scalability, reliability, interoperability, manageability, and security during large-scale
distributed SAN operations.
■ The OptiStar EdgeSwitch has total flexibility to operate over virtually any type of network (IP,
Ethernet, DWDM, SONET and/or SDH, supporting rates from 100 Mbps to 2.4 Gbps) producing
reliable and scalable options for both the enterprise and service provider customer. Lucent has
trusted industry relationships and recognized industry leading service and support.
