Avaya Announces New Solutions In Fabric-Enabled Networking

Avaya has unveiled new solutions demonstrating the company’s continual innovation in network fabric technologies, including the fabric-enabled multi-service edge device and a new model for IP Multicast that significantly improves efficiency, reliability and scalability over traditional approaches. The solutions will be showcased in this year’s InteropNet, the temporary networks supporting Interop 2013, a premier networking industry event.

Avaya VENA Fabric Connect transforms the entire network from datacentre to desktop into a more agile one that is easier to configure, manage and maintain. Based on an enhanced implementation of Shortest Path Bridging, an open, standards-based, extensible fabric technology, Avaya VENA Fabric Connect delivers an array of network services, including Layer 2 and Layer 3 virtualisation with optimised routing and now, fully integrated support for IP Multicast.

Avaya VENA Fabric Connect allows customers to gradually phase out multiple complex legacy technologies and instead, enable all services through a single, next-generation technology. Services can be deployed using simple end-point provisioning that accelerates time-to-service and reduces the potential for error.
