Avaya Fabric Connect gives IT leaders an innovative way to design, operate and manage networks to deliver a simplified, agile and resilient infrastructure that makes network configuration faster and easier. The dynamic, real-time, service-based Fabric Connect technology makes it one of the most advanced network virtualization solutions on the market today.
In the same way that server virtualization allowed for faster time to service, better agility, better business continuity and increased efficiency of the compute environment, Avaya Fabric Connect delivers those same advantages to the network.
Leveraging a highly sophisticated protocol that supports Layer 2, Layer 3, IP Multicast, and IP VPN services, Avaya Fabric Connect replaces all conventional protocols, and revolutionizes configuration requirements and provisioning methodologies. Now, the control plane is autonomic – borrowing from the concept of the body’s autonomic nervous system, where life support is unconscious, automatic, and involuntary – and being autonomic delivers a number of key capabilities:
- Edge-only provisioning (quarantining the Core)
- Native network segmentation
- Instantaneous recovery
- Optimized IP Multicast Routing
- Seamless Virtual Machine mobility
- Automatic load-balancing of flows
Fabric Connect enables businesses to gradually migrate away from a host of legacy overlay technologies such as STP, OSPF, RIP, BGP and PIM, and enable all services with a single technology – delivering unprecedented levels of network simplification.
Fabric Connect provides a future-proof foundation to effectively deal with today’s mega-trends – virtualization, cloud, mobility and video – while dramatically simplifying the network and reducing operational costs.
