10 Gigabit Ethernet Q/A with Foundry's Bill Ryan
Virtual server technology, video, and storage requirements are moving data centers to 10 Gigabit Ethernet. Bill Ryan, senior product manager at Foundry Networks, explains why enterprises are migrating to this mature, cost-effective technology.

Case Study: Cadence Design Systems
Cadence Design Systems consolidated its 12 small server rooms into a large data center. Foundry Networks BigIron® RX series of backbone Layer 2/3 routing switches helped lead the server consolidation, which reduced TCO and improved resource management.

Case Study: USC Information Sciences Institute
As a leader in information technology, USC ISI demands a high-performance network that matches the brain power and creativity of its users. Because the network supports diverse applications—from a homeland security test bed and cluster computing to garden-variety administrative applications—the 10 Gigabit Ethernet network must be secure, reliable, and robust.
