ServerIron® 4G: Accelerating Application Performance at an Affordable Price
The ServerIron 4G Series application switches meet the demand for secure, accelerated, and optimized delivery of Web and triple-play services in the small- and mid-sized enterprise data centers. This entry-level switch series provides the industry's best price-performance value proposition as well as support for a broad range of IP-based applications. An integrated purpose-built Web firewall protects enterprises' Web-enabled applications from growing threats that target network service disruption and compromise sensitive information. In the realm of email security, features like Spam Defense enhance and complement existing solutions by merging multiple layers of defense onto a single platform. Web traffic optimization complements the ServerIron 4G security features. This powerful switch series packs data-center class resiliency features and hardware-based security and acceleration that previously were only accessible—and affordable—to large enterprise and service provider organizations. Foundry offers two models in the ServerIron 4G Series—ServerIron 4G and ServerIron 4G-SSL. Both models feature the same purpose-built architecture found in the high-end ServerIron switches. Integrated hardware Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) acceleration, which is built into the ServerIron 4G-SSL, increases the performance of secure Web transactions in enterprise and e-commerce environments by offloading SSL processing from servers and centralizing SSL certificate management. This class-leading switch delivers unparalleled SSL performance of up to 500 Mbps SSL throughput at a cost that is much lower than its competitors. Across the globe, organizations are relying on the ServerIron 4G Series to ease maintenance headaches, protect the network from external threats, and deliver reliable service across a network of global data centers.
