Foundry
Network Product Overview
Foundry Network Routers
The Foundry NetIron series routers are able to deliver
up to 1.2 Terabits/second switching capacity to satisfy the exploding
bandwidth requirements encountered by growth oriented service providers.
This provided for reliable packet delivery, even under the heaviest
of Internet traffic loads.*
Foundry Network Switches
The Foundry BigIron series are purpose-built for bandwidth
intensive enterprise networks to support business and research applications
including high bandwidth campus backbone, data center aggregation,
cluster and grid computing, converged (voice, video, image and data)
communications, storage networking, financial transactions as well
as government, healthcare and university super-computing research
projects. BigIron's non-blocking architecture enables network managers
to build scalable and highly available network designs.*
The Foundry FastIron series delivers hardware-based distributed switching
and routing capacity with industry leading performance, price/performance,
and high-density LAN connectivity. The media flexibility, consistent CLI syntax,
common sparing components, and award-winning IronWare software feature set
work together to reduce the overall cost of ownership, minimize the operational
expense, and increase the network’s return on investment.*
The Foundry ServerIron series switch provides Internet service providers (ISPs)
and enterprise Intranet managers with a high-density, high-performance Layer
4 switch that improves the performance of existing servers, ensures applications
availability and increases network redundancy. The ServerIron series can be
used in all server farm or transparent caching environments, including Web,
FTP and email. The ServerIron provides 10-, 100-, and 1000-Mbps connectivity
to servers. You also can multi-home links by configuring trunk groups for greater
bandwidth and redundancy.
