Allied Telesis x560-28YSQ Ethernet Switch

Overview

Allied Telesis x560-28YSQ 25 Gigabit Layer 3 switch features high capacity, resiliency, and easy management. Flexible connectivity options make it the ideal choice for demanding data delivery applications. Enable 25G server connectivity for today's data-driven services, or high-performance in enterprise distribution environments.

24 x 1/10/25G ports and 4 x 40/100G uplinks provide deployment flexibility, while Virtual Chassis Stacking (VCStackTM) enables a resilient solution where up to 4 units operate and are managed as a single virtual device.

Network automation

Vista ManagerTM EX bundled with Allied Telesis Autonomous Management Framework Plus (AMF Plus) meets the increasing management requirements of modern networks. While AMF Plus 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 Plus wired and Autonomous Wave Control (AWC) wireless devices.

Device and wireless management

The Device GUI enables graphical monitoring of key switch features to support easy management.

Integrated into the Device GUI, the wireless controller supports visibility and management of APs, making it ideal as a one-stop solution for small to medium-sized networks.

Resilient

The x560-28YSQ can form a VCStack of up to 4 units. In conjunction with link aggregation, VCStack provides an enhanced resiliency with no single point of failure to meet today's increasing demand for high-available networks with minimal downtime. Stacks can also be created over long distance fiber links, which is perfect for distributed environment. Allied Telesis Ethernet Protection Switched Ring (EPSRingTM), the standardsbased G.8032 Ethernet Ring Protection, and Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP), ensure that distributed network segments have high-speed, resilient access to online resources and applications.

Reliable

The x560-28YSQ is designed with reliability in mind to guarantee continual delivery of essential services. Dual built in power supplies and near-hitless online stack reconfiguration enable maintenance to be performed without affecting network uptime.

Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI)

The x560-28YSQ has the performance and resilience to support hyperconverged infrastructure, where servers, storage, and switches connect seamlessly for data-driven environments that are software controlled.

This lowers cost and complexity while enabling better scalability and agility in managing and deploying IT services.

Network orchestration

For easy integration into complex networks such as HCI that comprise physical, virtual, and multi-vendor devices, the x560-28YSQ features:

• NETCONF/RESTCONF + YANG data modelling for network automation.
• OpenFlow v1.3 for Software Defined Networking (SDN) orchestration.
