BigIron MG8, 4000, 8000 和 15000

Enterprise-class BigIron Layer 2/Layer 3 Switches

The BigIron product family now includes the powerful Terathon? ASIC-based architecture, to deliver a new level of high-performance, distributed switching and routing for enterprise and service provider networks. The newest family member, BigIron RX-Series redefines terabit-capacity
for routing and switching in the Enterprise and Service Provider environments. Flexibility, resiliency, security and performance are hallmarks of the design of the BigIron RX-Series family of 10 GbE routers.

The BigIron MG8, offers high density 10-Gigabit Ethernet switch for performance oriented Enterprise. All BigIron switches are purpose-built for bandwidth intensive enterprise networks to support business and research applications including high bandwidth campus backbone, data center aggregation, cluster and grid computing, converged (voice, video, image and data) communications, storage networking, financial transactions as well as government, healthcare and university super-computing research projects. BigIron's non-blocking architecture enables network managers to build scalable and highly available network designs. BigIron is the only chassis that has been 10-Gigabit ready since the day it started shipping in 1998.

"Enterprises and research institutions need both evolutionary as well as revolutionary migration paths to high-performance Ethernet networks," said Mike Warren, a computational astrophysicist and architect of the Space Simulator Beowulf cluster at Los Alamos National Laboratory. "Performance-oriented organizations will benefit from having a next-generation 10-Gigabit networking infrastructure which is highly scalable and resilient, with high Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet density. Foundry's BigIron MG8 will be one of the revolutionary products in this category which offers the performance required to support high-bandwidth networks such as our Beowulf clusters."
