Allied Telesis Network Virtualization Solution Overview
This document outlines the Allied Telesis Network Virtualization solution, designed for building management companies to provide secure, reliable, and scalable network services to commercial tenants. It explains how to create a single physical network infrastructure where individual tenants can overlay their own virtual networks using VLAN encapsulation (QinQ) to ensure complete data isolation and security.
The solution leverages Allied Telesis premium ring resilience technology, Ethernet Protected Switching Ring (EPSR), to provide carrier-class network resilience. The document highlights specific SwitchBlade x900 and AT8600 series products that support this architecture, offering high bandwidth, immediate access, and high availability for applications such as Voice over IP (VoIP) and video surveillance.
