XS900MX Overview

The XS900MX Series are the ideal 10G access switches for enterprise networks or anywhere a relay switch with 10G uplink is required. The switches 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.

The XS900MX Series switches feature Allied Telesis Management Framework (AMF).Common tasks are automated or made very simple.Powerful features like centralized management, auto-backup, auto-upgrade, auto-provisioning and auto-recovery enable plug-and-play networking and zero-touch management.

Ethernet Protection Switching Ring (EPSRing) 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.

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. 

A secure network environment is guaranteed, with powerful control over network traffic types and secure management options.
