The 8284XSQ Ethernet Switch is designed to deliver sophisticated yet simplified functionality in deployments for mid-sized business. The VSP 8000 Series features tight integration between the Industry’s leading hardware and Avaya’s proven VSP Operating System and this delivers a compelling package of enhanced levels of functionality and robustness. Leveraging Avaya’s unique virtualization technologies, businesses can benefit from real-time service agility, avoiding the delays associated with conventional design, and the outages introduced in trying to maintain them. The Compact Form-Factor (CFF) design revolutionizes the cost/benefit proposition for the mid-market/mid-sized Core Switch role; delivering higher port density, better price/port, lower entry price-point, enhanced power efficiency, reduced maintenance, smaller physical footprint, and easy scalability. Essentially, the CFF gives business what they need, and at the same time helps them avoid the ‘Chassis Tax’.

Ethernet Switch provides a total of 84 fixed ports, configured as 80 ports of 10 Gigabit Ethernet, presented as SFP+ sockets, and 4 ports of 40 Gigabit Ethernet, presented as QSFP+ sockets.

The innovative design leverages the most advanced chipset from the Industry’s leading supplier, featuring 2.56Tbps of switching and 1,428Mpps of frame forwarding performance. The chipset is designed to deliver Terabit-scale, wire-speed capabilities, with a fully integrated 10/40/100 Gigabit ASIC architecture that facilitates multiple design opportunities. Latency has been optimized, with a 40% advance over current best examples. New intelligent buffer technology self-tunes thresholds for excellent burst absorption, offering a 5x efficiency gain over existing static designs. A flexible, Unified Forwarding Table allows for future in-field optimization, with up to four mission profiles supported. This chipset also includes embedded support for a range of enabling technologies such as DCB, SPB, VXLAN, PIM, FCoE, and NAT/PAT.
