Campus Solutions
Foundry's Enterprise solution is ideal for enterprise campuses that need a high-performance networking solution with advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 capabilities such as Metro Ring Protocol and Border Gateway Protocol, which can support up to 1,000,000 BGP4 routes. Foundry's campus solution simplifies network operations, reduces administration time, and decreases sparing requirements, introducing dramatic savings in total cost of ownership (TCO).
Overview
The BigIron RX Series, FastIron Edge X Series, FastIron SuperX Family, and NetIron MLX Series combine high-density 10 Gigabit Ethernet and Foundry's IronWare™ to ensure quick access to data center applications, very low-latency across the network, and high availability for VoIP and mission-critical applications.
Designed for enabling reliable, converged infrastructures and supporting mission-critical applications, the NetIron MLX Series and the BigIron RX Series feature an advanced N+1 redundant switch fabric architecture. This high-availability architecture ensures that the system continues to operate at peak performance even in the case of a switch fabric card failure.
Foundry's FastIron Edge X Series and FastIron SuperX family include advanced Layer 2 services, Foundry's Metro Ring Protocol (MRP) for rapid service restoration in ring-based topologies, VLAN stacking for tunneled VLAN services, and rich bandwidth management features for controlling network utilization.
