FastIron 400, 800, and 1500 for
Enterprise Server Farm Connectivity
The FastIron 400, 800, and 1500 Layer 2/3 switches are ideal for
server farm connectivity, providing cost-effective 100/1000
auto-sensing Gigabit Ethernet over copper interfaces for scaling
server bandwidth.
The 16-port 100/1000 auto-sensing Gigabit over Copper (GoC)
interface module provides industry leading port density up to
232 Gigabit ports in a single system that could take the full 17 rack
units. Jumbo frame support on these cost-effective modules
enables Enterprise customers to reduce CPU cycles during
server farm backup operations.
The JetCore-based FastIron systems also support the new
10 Gigabit Ethernet interface module to scale backbone
connectivity.In addition,Foundry's IronSheild
protect the server farm against Denial of Service (DoS) attacks
and provide administration security. These security features
eliminate unnecessary network downtime caused by malicious
hacker attacks.
FastIron 400, 800, and 1500 for
Enterprise LAN Backbone
The JetCore-based FastIron systems feature industry-leading
Gigabit and 10 Gigabit port density including fiber and copper
Gigabit and fiber 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, a critical
requirement in the LAN backbone.
Continuing Foundry's technology leadership, the new FastIron
systems offer wire-speed, non-blocking Layer 3 switching,
delivering the industry's highest switching capacity of up to 480
Gbps. TCAM technology, an enhancement to Foundry's
hardware forwarding technology,is a feature of the JetCore ASIC
chipset, which provides superior performance and scalability in
the LAN backbone and data center.
Advanced multicast capabilities,wire-speed Access Control Lists,
and complete integrated OSPF routing capabilities provide
robust routing and filtering,while 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces
or IEEE 802.3ad-based trunk groups enable Enterprise
customers to immediately scale inter-switch connections in the
LAN backbone to meet increasing bandwidth requirements.
Foundry Voice over IP Solutions
Today's networks are providing services thought impossible just a
few years ago.Internet,e-mail,voice,and video conferencing are
just a few of the business applications that are placing higher
demands upon the network Infrastructure. The standards and
demands for the network infrastructure have never been higher.
Delivering voice solutions requires more than just connectivity.
Issues such as call quality, reliability, availability, security, and
manageability are paramount in the complete voice solution.
Most of all,the solutions should be able to deliver answers to these
issues all while saving scarce budget dollars or enabling new
business possibilities. Foundry Networks believes that the
customer should be able to choose the tools that are right for
their business and strives to build solutions that will enable any
telephony vendor's solutions to interoperate with Foundry's
superior network infrastructure equipment.
