Foundry Doubles Performance of Load Balancing Switches

Foundry Networks is rolling out enhancements to its ServerIronXL family of load balancing application switches, including new configuration options, an enhanced operating system that doubles application switching performance, and reduced pricing. New configuration options for the ServerIronXL include a 16-port 10/100 model with two ports of Gigabit Ethernet-over-Copper (GoC) and a 16-port 10/100 model with two ports of Gigabit Ethernet-over-Fiber. Foundry also offers higher-density 24-port 10/100 Ethernet systems with options for one or two ports of Gigabit Ethernet uplinks. The company said that new algorithms and optimized software for the platforms effectively double the systems' load-balancing performance.



Foundry Networks noted that it has shipped more than 15,000 ServerIronXL switches to date. http://www.foundrynetworks.com/
