Switches & Bridges

The AT-XS916MXT and AT-XS916MXS switches offer cost effective, high-speed 10G connectivity for servers and storage, and support 100/1000 connections for existing networks. The XS900MX Series enable a highly flexible and reliable network, which can easily scale to meet increasing traffic demands.

Overview
The XS900MX Series are the ideal 10G access switches for enterprise networks or anywhere a relay switch with 10G uplink is required. Theswitches also make the ideal core or aggregation switch, to connect servers and storage in a small network.

The AT-XS916MXT features 12 x 100/1000/10GBASE-T and 4 x SFP+ slots. The AT-XS916MXS features 4 x 100/1000/10GBASE-T and 12 x SFP+ slots.

Easy management
The XS900MX Series switches feature Allied Telesis Management FrameworkTM (AMF), a sophisticated suite of management tools that provides a simplified approach to network management.

Common tasks are automated or made so simple that the everyday running of a network can be achieved without the need for highly trained, and expensive, network engineers.Powerful features like centralized management, auto-backup, auto-upgrade, auto- provisioning and auto-recovery enable plug-and-play networking and zero-touch management.

Resiliency
Ethernet Protection Switching Ring (EPSRingTM) and 10 Gigabit Ethernet allow several XS900MX Series switches to form a protected ring capable of recovery within as little as 50ms. This feature is perfect for high performance and high availability in enterprise networks.

Stackable
Create a VCStack of two XS900MX Series switches (using 10G SFP+ direct attach cables). VCStack provides a highly available system where network resources are spread out across stacked units, reducing the impact if one of the units fails. With VCStack and the XS900MX Series, up to 28 x 10G ports can be provisioned as a single virtual switch in one rack unit.

The Allied Telesis x530L Series are a high-performing and feature-rich choice for today's networks. The GHXm models feature 8 or 16 x 100M/1/2.5/5G Multi-Gigabit ports with 2 x 10 Gigabit uplinks, while 28 and 52 port models feature 24 or 48 x 10M/100M/1 Gigabit ports with 4 x 10 Gigabit uplinks. The ability to stack multiple units, enables a versatile solution for enterprise applications.

The GHXm models support PoE++ (up to 90W per port), while 28 or 52 port GPX models support PoE+ (up to 30W per port), making them perfect for connecting and powering devices at the network edge such as wireless access points, and IP surveillance cameras.

Network Management

Vista ManagerTM EX bundled with Allied Telesis Autonomous Management FrameworkTM (AMF) meets the increasing management requirements of modern networks. While AMF allows an entire network to be securely and easily managed as a single virtual device, Vista Manager EX provides an intuitive and powerful graphical tool for monitoring and managing AMF wired, Autonomous Wave Control (AWC) wireless, and third party (SNMP) devices.

Cybersecurity

The x530L Series acting as an AMF member is compatible with our AMFSecurity solution, which enables a self-defending network. The AMF-Sec controller responds immediately to any internal malware threats by instructing the x530L to isolate the affected part of the network, and quarantine the suspect device. Vista Manager EX alerts networks administrators of threats that have been dealt with.

Resilient

Today's converging online services mean there is increasing demand for highly-available networks with minimal downtime. Allied Telesis Virtual Chassis Stacking (VCStackTM), in conjunction with link aggregation, provides a network with no single point of failure and application resiliency.

x530L Series switches can form a VCStack of up to eight units for enhanced resiliency and simplified management. Mixed stacking allows the x530L Series to stack with x530 Series Switches. Stacking over Long Distance (VCStackTM LD), which enables stacks to be created over long distance fiber links, makes the x530L Series the perfect choice for distributed environments too.

Allied Telesis Ethernet Protection Switched Ring (EPSRing™), and the standards-based G.8032 Ethernet Ring Protection, ensure that distributed network segments have high-speed, resilient access to online resources and applications.

Reliable

The x530L Series was designed with reliability in mind, and guarantees continual delivery of essential services. The 28 and 52 port models feature dual built-in power supplies, and all models have near-hitless online stack reconfiguration, so maintenance does not affect network uptime.

Secure

A secure network environment is guaranteed. The x530L Series offers powerful control over network traffic types, secure management options, loop guard to protect against cabling mistakes, and tri-authentication for comprehensive access control.

High-speed wireless

The GHXm models provide support for both 2.5 and 5 Gigabit connectivity, allowing high-speed wireless to run at full capacity while avoiding the need to upgrade existing Cat5e/Cat6 cables.

The AT-XS916MXT and AT-XS916MXS switches offer cost effective, high-speed 10G connectivity for servers and storage, and support 100/1000 connections for existing networks. The XS900MX Series enable a highly flexible and reliable network, which can easily scale to meet increasing traffic demands.

Allied Telesis x550 switches are high performing and feature-rich, making them the ideal choice for today's networks. They offer a range of versatile solutions for many different Enterprise applications.

With a variety of models-featuring 16 x 1G/10G copper ports or 16 x 1G/10G SFP+ slots, or a mix of both, alongside two 40G uplinks and the power of Allied Telesis Virtual Chassis Stacking (VCStack™)-the x550 Series is ideal for the network core, and demanding distribution applications.

Powerful network management
Allied Telesis Autonomous Management FrameworkTM (AMF) automates many everyday tasks including configuration management, to ease the workload of modern converged networks. The entire network can be managed as a single virtual device with powerful centralized features.

Network expansion is effortless with plug-and-play simplicity, and network node recovery is fully zero-touch. AMF Guestnode allows third party devices, such as IP phones and security cameras, to be part of an AMF network.

Resiliency
Converging network services means increasing demand for highly available networks with minimal downtime. VCStack, in conjunction with link aggregation, provides a network with no single point of failure, and provides access application resiliency.

Ethernet Protection Switched Ring (EPSRing™), and the standards-based G.8032 Ethernet Ring Protection, ensure distributed networks have highspeed access to online resources and applications.

The x550 Series can form a VCStack of up to four units for enhanced resiliency and simplified device management. Stacking links can use either the 10G or 40G ports, so the stack can be configured to suit specific needs. Stack without the need for special cables using the 10G RJ-45 copper ports-a simple patch cable is all that's required.

Long distance stacking (VCStack LD), which enables stacks to be created over long distance fiber links, combines with full EPSRing support to make the x550 Series the perfect choice for distributed environments too.

High-speed wireless
The spread of high-speed wireless (802.11ac or "Wave2") is problematic for network infrastructure. Unless the infrastructure is upgraded to cope with increased speeds, it creates a bottleneck which negatively impacts the effectiveness of the wireless network. But increasing speeds from 1 Gigabit has traditionally meant moving to 10 Gigabit. This requires new cabling, which is expensive and time consuming to install.

The x550-18XSPQm solves these issues because it provides support for 2.5 Gigabit. At this speed, the wireless network runs at full capacity, and there is no need to replace existing Cat5E and Cat6 cables.

Secure
A secure network environment is guaranteed. The x550 Series offers powerful control over network traffic types, secure management options, loop guard to protect against cabling mistakes, and tri-authentication for comprehensive access control.

Future-proof
The x550 Series ensures a future-proof network, with superior flexibility coupled with the ability to stack multiple units. All x550 Series models feature 40 Gigabit uplinks ports, and support OpenFlow and a comprehensive IPv6 feature set, to ensure they are ready for SDN and future network traffic demands.

Environmentally friendly
The x550 Series supports Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), automatically reducing the power consumed by the switch whenever there is no traffic on a port. This sophisticated feature can significantly reduce operating costs by reducing the power requirements of the switch and any associated cooling equipment.
