Alcatel switch configuration is relatively easy for those familiar with Cisco or HP configuration. CLI, based on a Unix operating system (now linux), provides easy access to essential information. Alcatel-Lucent Omniswitch helps us to discover the best switch that can fit my company operations for IT as well as OT (Operational Technology). LAN across the entire company has created a suitable Infrastructure for communication and controlling business processes through Alcatel-Lucent switches. we also use Core Alcatel switches in the Data Center.

Nothing but problems. We had well over 50 ALE switches and couldn't get rid of them fast enough! We were in  bad spot financially when we needed to replace our switches. We went ahead and bought these and we should have held off until more funds were available. Big Mistake!!!

Director of IT

Having used a number of other providers before, the support that comes with Alcatel Lucent network equipment is exceptional. The engineer on our account is very knowledgeable and has a great understanding of how our environment is scoped. When implementing changes he makes sure to understand the intentions behind them and will go out of his way to point out any recommendations where they may help. The deployed equipment works as expected. We have a brand new network deployed with 10G uplinks between closets and buildings and this network equipment shines every day because of its resilience and manageability. Using Omin Cirrus as the central management platform for it all makes diagnosing issues much quicker than some other platforms. The physical switches have been very reliable. The reporting the solution is capable of allows us to tell user they may have an issue before they know which leads to a higher level of trust between the end user and the IT team.
