Layer 3 Backbone Switches
Foundry's chassis-based BigIron family of Layer 3 Backbone Switches for the campus, MAN and LAN environments delivers up to 1.2 Terabits per second of backplane switching capacity, dramatically reduces performance bottlenecks with wire-speed IP routing. With this capacity, the premium BigIron MG8 scales to support 96 separate 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports in a single 7 foot rack. The entire BigIron family scales to easily handle several hundred non-blocking Gigabit Ethernet ports at a peak performance of up to 480,000,000 packets per second - delivering more than 100 times the performance of new competitive switches and routers at a much lower price.

Layer 2/3 Enterprise Core/Edge and Service Provider Edge Switches
Foundry's complete line of award-winning Layer 2 and Layer 3 switches include the FastIron and EdgeIron product families. These products deliver a new level of performance and functionality for Enterprise and Service Provider networks. Based on Foundry's high performance architectures, these products deliver industry-leading performance, price/performance and high-density 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet connectivity for Enterprise backbones, high-density wiring closet environments, and Service Provider edge applications.

Wireless
Foundry's Integrated Wireless and Wired Infrastructure strategy consists of three components; the IronPointT 200 IEEE 802.11a/b/g standards-based multi-mode full-featured access points, a SNMP-based IronPoint WiFi Management application suite, as well as a Wireless LAN software upgrade option for Foundry's popular FastIron JetCoreT modular, FastIron Edge and FastIron Edge Power-over-Ethernet switches. By leveraging the latest 802.11 standards, these products deliver a wireless LAN solution which offers strong security, seamless mobility, centralized management, dynamic user policies and ease of use, leading to lower long term cost of ownership.

Routers
The chassis-based NetIron product family provides unparalleled, wire-speed IP routing performance and switching capacity to meet the expanding requirements of Metro and Internet Service Providers (ISPs). NetIron Metro routers include the new 40 Gigabit-ready NetIron 40G platform that uses Foundry’s new fourth generation ASICs to offer 4 Terabits of switching capacity and 1.5 billion packets per second of routing performance per rack, nearly twice the capability of newly announced competitive platforms at an industry-leading price per 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) port. NetIron Metro Routers are designed to be NEBS Level 3 compliant. With feature-rich IronWare that is in use by more than 5,800 customers over the world, NetIron Metro Routers offer a complete set of IP routing protocols including BGP4, OSPF and IS-IS as part of the IronWare operating system.

The AccessIron family of enterprise wide area network (WAN) access routers delivers high performance, unparalleled scalability, plus an advanced feature set, giving organizations the WAN routing capabilities they need for the most demanding networking environments.

Layer 4-7 Switches
The ServerIron family of Layer 4-7 switches is the industry leader in load balancing servers, firewalls, caches, ISP links, and data centers with high-performance Layer 4-7 switching and integrated Layer 2/3 functionalities. ServerIron switches enable network managers to build and secure mission-critical application infrastructure that is massively scalable and always available. Mission-critical applications are protected with IronShield security against multiple forms of Denial of Service (DoS), Virus and Worm attacks. Many of the world’s most demanding Enterprise, Service Provider, E-Commerce and Government organizations rely on ServerIron switches to enable highly secure and always-on applications.

Network Management
Foundry IronView is a robust network management platform with a rich set of applications targeted for operation management of Foundry devices.
