Foundry Networks Expands Gigabit-over-Copper Product Line
November 5, 2002
Foundry Networks (Company Info), a provider of high-performance enterprise and service provider switching, routing and Web traffic management solutions, announced today a new portfolio of products as part of its ongoing high-performance initiatives in the Gigabit-over-Copper market. Foundry's three-prong strategy includes the following:
Enhance the breadth of Gigabit-over-Copper products from aggressively
priced fixed-configuration Layer 2 switches to highly scalable modular
Layer 3 switches with expansion capability to 10-Gigabit Ethernet to
serve a range of enterprise customer needs.
Extend Foundry's 10-Gigabit Ethernet leadership as a differentiator in
the enterprise data center market as advancements in Gigabit Copper
technology and pricing accelerate adoption of 1 Gbps Ethernet to
servers and desktops.
Leverage Foundry's number one market share leadership in Layer 4 - 7
switch market with Gigabit Copper server load balancing switches to
offer compelling computing price/performance with cluster computing in
enterprise data centers.
As the processing power of desktops and servers has risen dramatically, Gigabit-over-Copper offers enterprise customers ten times more network throughput compared to 100 Mbps Ethernet, providing significantly higher return on their investment. According to reports from Dell'Oro Group, a leading market research firm, 1 Gbps Ethernet interface shipments with LAN on Motherboard (LOM) have increased by one million units from Q1, 2002 to Q2, 2002. On the other hand, the price of Gigabit-over-Copper network adapters for the servers and desktops has declined dramatically to below $100 per adapter. With standards based 10-Gigabit Ethernet now available for scaling the LAN backbone and server switch uplinks, Gigabit-over-Copper is promising to unleash a wave of migration in the industry.
As part of Foundry's Gigabit-over-Copper strategy, Foundry is introducing a portfolio of new products to serve a range of enterprise customer needs and improve the scalability, high availability and manageability of enterprise server farms. Foundry's new Gigabit Copper products include:
EdgeIron 24G, a mid-range fixed-configuration Layer 2 Gigabit
Ethernet switch,
FastIron 3208RGC, an advanced Layer 2/3 modular switch with 10-
Gigabit Ethernet expandability, and
ServerIron 100-8GC02F, a mid-range Layer 4/7 Gigabit Copper system
for load balancing servers, firewalls and caches.
"Foundry is well-positioned with this latest announcement to address the Gigabit Ethernet-over-Copper migration wave, which is a natural evolution of the technology," said Zeus Kerravala, vice president of enterprise infrastructure at the Yankee Group.
