Avaya will add its Virtual Enterprise Network Architecture (VENA) software to switches targeted at campus networks. Avaya says VENA will allow campus users to more easily install, provision and manage applications and services. The software supports the emerging IEEE 802.1AQ Shortest Path Bridging standard for deploying multiple active paths in a data center switching fabric. VENA is already shipping on Avaya’s VSP 9000 data center switch, now available on the ERS 8800 and 8600.”]
