The new JetCore-based FastIron systems are
the first in the industry to provide ENTERPRISE customers with a
complete end-to-end LAN solution, ranging from the wiring closet
to the LAN backbone, based on a single product family. The
single JetCore product family simplifies network operations,
administration, and sparing requirements, leading to dramatic
savings in TCO.
The new JetCore-based FastIron systems
include advanced Layer 2/3 feature sets that deliver
industry-leading scalability and performance, with embedded
support for IP, IPX and AppleTalk based switching. Integrated
fine-grain bandwidth provisioning, sFlow™ (RFC 3176), rich QoS,
complete multicast, and jumbo frames provide a foundation for
VoIP and next-generation streaming media applications.
Complemented by the JetCore-based FastIron
4802 workgroup switch, the FastIron 400, 800 and 1500 systems
empower ENTERPRISE customers to harness network performance into
a competitive business advantage and improve productivity by
exploiting the efficiencies of intranet, Internet and extranet
applications.
The FastIron 400, 800 and 1500 modular systems provide an
ideal choice for ENTERPRISE wiring closets. Leading with
price/performance, these products offer superior port density,
serviceability, high availability, security and advanced Layer
2/3 feature sets. Redundant management modules providing rapid
failover, IEEE 802.1w based Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (STP),
and ultra-low latency of 5 microseconds delivers the critical
high availability and performance required for mission-critical
applications including VoIP.
Shipping with full Layer 2 and base Layer 3
capabilities, the FastIron modular systems can be upgraded to a
full Layer 3 feature set. The easy upgrade path provides
ENTERPRISE customers with a "future-proof" technology while
enabling interoperability with existing infrastructures.
The addition of new JetCore-based interface
modules, including a 48-port RJ-21 (Telco) auto-sensing 10/100
interface module and a 16-port Gigabit copper auto-sensing
100/1000 interface module, provide the industry's most compact
port density while supporting a smooth migration path for
Gigabit-to-the-desktop. You can swap modules to easily adapt to
business needs, without costly forklift upgrades.
The FastIron 400, 800, or 1500 Layer 2/3 switches are ideal for
server farm connectivity, providing cost-effective 100/1000
auto-sensing Gigabit Ethernet over copper interfaces for scaling
server bandwidth.
The new 16-port 100/1000
auto-sensing Gigabit over copper interface module provides
industry-leading port density up to 232 Gigabit ports in a
single system that consumes just 17 rack units. Jumbo frame
support on these cost-effective modules enables ENTERPRISE
customers to reduce CPU cycles during server farm backup
operations.
The JetCore-based FastIron
systems also support the new 10 Gigabit Ethernet interface
module, to scale backbone connectivity. In addition, FOUNDRY's
IronShield ™ security features protect the server farm against
Denial of Service (DoS) attacks and provide administration
security. These security features eliminate unnecessary network
downtime caused by malicious hacker attacks.
The JetCore-based FastIron systems feature industry-leading
Gigabit port density including fiber and copper Gigabit Ethernet
interfaces, a critical requirement in the LAN backbone.
Continuing FOUNDRY's
technology leadership, the new FastIron systems offer
wire-speed, non-blocking Layer 3 switching, delivering the
industry's highest switching capacity of up to 480 Gbps. TCAM
technology, an enhancement to FOUNDRY's hardware forwarding
technology, is a feature of the JetCore ASIC chipset, which
provides superior performance and scalability in the LAN
backbone and data center.
Advanced multicast
capabilities, wire-speed Access Control Lists, and complete
integrated OSPF routing capabilities provide robust routing and
filtering, while 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces or IEEE
802.3ad-based trunk groups enable ENTERPRISE customers to
immediately scale inter-switch connections in the LAN backbone
to meet increasing bandwidth requirements.
