The FastIron ® 400, 800 and 1500 systems are the first in
the industry to provide Enterprise customers with a complete
end-to-end LAN solution—from the wiring closet to the
LAN backbone—based on a single product family. The
JetCore ® -enabled FastIron systems simplify sparing, network
operations and administration for dramatic savings in Total Cost
of Ownership (TCO).
Based on Foundry's third-generation JetCore ASIC chipset, the
FastIron 400, 800, and 1500 systems deliver incredible port
density, advanced Layer 2/3 feature sets, rich Quality of Service
(QoS), bandwidth management capabilities for Voice over IP
(VoIP) and 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces to scale the network
backbone with massive bandwidth capacity.
