Foundry Networks Supplies 10 GigE for Japan's Largest Internet Exchange

Japan's largest Internet exchange, WIDE (Widely Integrated Distributed Environments), has deployed Foundry Networks' 10-Gigabit Ethernet solution to significantly boost its capacity. The WIDE Project operates a number of Japan's major Internet exchanges including NSPIXP-2, which interconnects more than 60 Japanese service providers. The installation uses Foundry's BigIron 15000 Layer 3 Backbone Switch and 10-Gigabit Ethernet modules. Bussan Networks K.K. is Foundry Networks' distributor for the project. Financial terms were not disclosed. Foundry has previously announced 10-Gigabit Ethernet deployments by The University Health Network in Toronto, the London Internet Exchange (LINX), Walter Reed Hospital, Amsterdam Internet Exchange, and The University of Southern California Information Sciences Institute (USC-ISI).
