Allied Telesis' operating systems, AlliedWare, and AlliedWare Plus, have been specifically designed to optimize the performance of your Allied Telesis products. AlliedWare is our fully-featured first generation operating system. It serves as the foundation for our original Layer 3 switches and routers. AlliedWare Plus is our next generation operating system. It employs a new modular approach to software creation and distribution, and provides you with even more features and greater robustness from our products. Both operating systems are standards-based and assure full interoperability with other major network equipment. In addition, they provide fully featured security, QoS, and multicasting support. AlliedWare Plus also features an industry-standard CLI, and Virtual Chassis Stacking.
