Scotland's University of Strathclyde Deploys Foundry's 10 GigE

The University of Strathclyde will install a new 10 Gigabit Ethernet backbone from Foundry Networks to serve its 50,000 students and faculty. Founded in 1796, the university is the third largest in Scotland. Installation of nine Foundry Networks Layer 3 BigIron 8000 and 15000 switches make up the first phase of the University's new network backbone, and they concurrently access all of the main data centers across the 67 building, 500-acre site. A 10 Gbps link is provisioned using two Layer 3 BigIron 15000 switches between the University's two main data centers. Financial terms were not disclosed.
