Foundry Networks Honored with
2008 'Best of Interop' Green
Award
Foundry Selected as Being Most
Green from More Than 200
Submissions
LAS VEGAS and SANTA CLARA,
Calif. – (April 30, 2008)
– Foundry Networks®,
Inc. (NASDAQ: FDRY), a
performance and total solutions
leader for end-to-end switching
and routing, today announced it
has been selected by
InformationWeek, the leading
multimedia business technology
brand, and Interop, the leading
global business technology event
series, for the ‘Best
of Interop’ Green Award.
Selected from more than 200
submissions in all Best of
Interop categories, Foundry
Networks was singled out
for its ability to deliver
industry-leading performance
while minimizing power, space
and cooling consumption in its
switching, routing and
application delivery controller
(ADC) product set and solutions.
Foundry's™ networking solutions
address these critical green
issues head-on by delivering
highly dense, scalable and power
efficient solutions to enable
greater flexibility and
capabilities for
organizations worldwide.
As the winner of the 2008 Best
of Interop Green Award, Foundry
was hand-selected by
InformationWeek's panel of
expert judges. Each year, Best
of Interop winners prove to be
the key players in the
continuing evolution of business
technology. The Best of Interop
Awards are designed to help IT
and network managers shorten the
evaluation process in assessing
new technology products. By
identifying innovative products
debuted at Interop,
the Best of Interop Awards
assist in the search for
creative solutions.
"The
2008 winner of the Best of
Interop Green Award, Foundry
Networks, has adopted an
eco-friendly approach to their
products," said Art Wittmann,
editor for InformationWeek.
"We congratulate Foundry
Networks for leading the way in
green computing."
Attention to green initiatives
in the networking space are
extremely important to IT
managers, not only to be more
ecologically sound, but also to
significantly lower ongoing
operating costs and to create
highly dense and powerful
switching and routing systems to
enable efficient business
growth. Organizations are
running out of physical space,
networking capacity and power
due to dramatic
business-critical application
growth, many of these
applications require robust
disaster recovery technologies
as safeguards, and the new
server technologies deployed to
meet application growth require
more than current data center
infrastructures can deliver.
As part of Foundry’s ongoing
efforts to advance the greener,
next-generation data center, the
new interface modules for the
BigIron® RX Series
switches and the NetIron®
MLX Series routers will deliver
the industry's highest 10
gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) and
gigabit Ethernet (GbE) density
of up to 512 ports of 10GbE and
1536 ports of GbE in a single
system while also dramatically
reducing power per actual
gigabit of performance.
The BigIron 16-port 10GbE SFP+
module (RX-BI16XG), and NetIron
MLX 48-port GbE MRJ21 module
(NI-MLX-1Gx48-T)
deliver exceptional flexibility
and scalability for advanced
data centers and
high-performance computing (HPC)
applications.
With these new high-density
interface modules, the BigIron
RX Series switches and
NetIron MLX Series routers now
deliver
more than twice the 10GbE and
GbE density of their nearest
competitors.
Organizations can be confident
that data center expansion and
HPC growth will be manageable
and environmentally friendly
through
Foundry's industry-leading
routers and switches and
intelligent best-of-breed
networking solutions.
“We are honored to take home the
Best of Interop Green Award,”
said Bobby Johnson, president
and chief executive officer for
Foundry Networks. “Our focus on
engineering leadership has
allowed Foundry to create
powerful high-performance
networks with increased density
and energy efficient attributes
that enable businesses to grow
effectively within the capital
constraints and environmental
issues facing enterprises and
service providers today. With
more than 200 other submissions
to select from, receiving the
Best of Interop Green Award is a
testament to Foundry’s ongoing
focus on innovation and
edge-to-core solutions.”
