The P333R-LB enhances the P330 stackable switch
solution by providing full load balancing and
routing functionality in a single switch.
Recent trends in network equipment in general,
and switches in particular, have been towards
ease of use and deployment.
Avaya leads these trends: the P333R-LB continues
the P330 family tradition of being powerful, simple,
flexible and offering an unprecedented price/
performance ratio.
F l e x i b l e
The P333R-LB has the same flexibility as the P330
system: The P333R-LB has both expansion module
to allow a variety of uplinks (fiber Ethernet,
GE copper fiber or GBIC and even ATM) and
a stackability option.
This stackability option allows scalability and
investment protection for customers needing more
ports and load balancing throughput, increasing
investment protection on any network design.

Once configured, the P333R-LB "disappears" as far
as your users are concerned. As a result, you do not
need to perform a large-scale reconfiguration to
benefit from increased availability and throughput.

However good a product is, it must deliver the
performance you need at a viable price. The P333R-LB
provides all your load balancing needs in a single,
compact switch.
With the P333R-LB, you can now afford to implement
full Layer 2 and 3 switching and Layer 4 load bal-
ancing anywhere in your network. Now applications
such as Server load balancing, Firewall Load
Balancing, Application Redirection and Policy-based
load balancing have become cost-effective.
The P333R-LB provides all this in one switch.
Compare this with other solutions that require
several expensive switches to perform the
same functionality.
