NI-MLX-10Gx4 NetIron MLX Series 4-port 10-GbE module

Charles J — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 22:40:50 +0000

This literally just landed today. The NI-MLX-10Gx4 is one of the most highly sought after cards in the entire Foundry/brocade line. It’s got four 10GbE (XFP) ports with IPv4/IPv6/MPLS hardware support.

This is a true gem and would make any network admin a very happy camper. Give me a call today for current pricing on this as new, refurbiushed unit.

FGS624P Foundry FastIron GS 624P Switches have landed!

Charles J — Tue, 19 May 2009 22:56:18 +0000

“Upgradeable with 10-Gigabit Ethernet, PoE, and IronStack stacking technology, the FastIron GS Series provides enterprises with the cost and operational benefits of a “pay-as-you-grow” architecture.”

That’s how Foundry aptly describes the FastIron GS, their current feature rich stackable switches that rival anything the guys at Cisco have yet offered. The P means they can be upgraed to support 802.3af PoE with a field-upgradable DIMM and an optional 10GbE uplink. With modular power supplies and a slim 1.5 RU profile, these IPv6 ready switches are making people take notice.

While we haven’t yet seen very many of the FastIron GS series switches on the secondary market, we just landed a clean pair that are ready to move. If you’re considering the FLS series, you might want to reconsider. These are their more robust big brother.

Call for this or any other FastIron GS or LS switches.

Foundry BigIron RX BI-RX-4-AC a money saver, money maker!

Charles J — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 21:20:31 +0000

The latest generation BigIron RX series Layer2/Layer3 switches from Foundry are proving to be even more popular with our customers than their predecessor (the B4000/B8000 “Jetcore” series). And while we still sell the Jetcore series, and they are still capable for many budget-constrained uses, the RX series is substantially better in virtually all ways. They are smaller physically (greater port density), have impressive reduced power requirements, support total redundancy within the chassis, and are non-blocking on all module slots at up to 40Gb/sec. Of course the code base is highly evolved and stable. These are some of the many reasons they are ideal for aggregation and backbone switching. The management (supervisor) also supports 2GB of DRAM, and as such is scalable to 4 million routes, 256 peers and 14,000 attributes (BGPv4). I could go on with more, but its all at http://www.foundrynet.com/products/enterprise/agg-bb-l23/bi-rx.html

In a nutshell, they come in 4, 8 , 16 and even 32 (!) slot versions, and support redundant management, fabric and power. They support all layer 2 protocols, and all major layer 3 protocols (not MPLS, but technically that’s not Layer 3!? You need MLX or XMR if you require MPLS support) There are 24-port copper, fiber, 48-port telco copper, and 2 and 4 port 10GbE modules that are compatible across all the chassis. They are purportedly very power efficient and well liked:

FESX424, Foundry’s FastIron EdgeX Priced to Move!

Charles J — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 20:17:56 +0000

I won’t go into much detail other than to say if you are looking for an affordable, feature filled L2/L3 switch then you probably already know what a bang for the buck Foundry’s FESX424 is. Add the Full L3 upgrade and the X4-2XG upgrade and well, simply put you are in business.

This month we I have some new stock of refurbished FESX424s (upgrades optional) for unbelievable prices considering what these boxes can do. Give me a call for current pricing or with any questions.

Here’s a teaser pic of one of those units!

FCSLB16-U2GC, Power at an affordable price!

admin — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 18:28:16 +0000

Once upon a time, these units would run you over $10K ($11,995 to be exact). Now that Foundry has released newer Serveriron load balancers like the SI-4G and SI-GT series, you can score yourself a pretty sweet deal on this unit.

Foundry ServerIron load balancers

admin — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 23:36:15 +0000

We have had great success selling the entire line of Foundry ServerIron Application load balancers over the last 6 years in business here at Townsend Networks. At the very high end (and high budget) SOME folks seem to prefer F5 Networks boxes, but thats a topic for debate elsewhere. Myself, I have always liked the features, performance and price-point for the Foundry ServerIron line. I also know several very demanding customers in the content delivery space who rely on these boxes, and swear by them. Same for some of our hosting cutomers.

Anyhow, we have virtually the entire line in stock used, yes used. Fully tested, fully waranteed, eligible for Bronze tech support from Foundry, and simply HUGE savings over new. (Imagine deploying an HA pair, for LESS than the cost of one unit NEW from Foundry, for example).

Contact me for a quote or to discuss any of these or other Foundry Networks products.
