August 27, 2008 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- End-to-end switching and routing solutions provider Foundry Networks (foundrynet.com) has launched a suite of networking solutions aimed at the service provider market.

According to Foundry's announcement Tuesday, the company boasts its new NetIron CES 2000 Series as the networking industry's first one rack unit, compact edge/aggregation switch with a Provider Backbone Bridge and 10GbE capabilities.

With this new suite, Foundry aims to "create a high-performance, flexible and efficient network architecture for providers to deliver core, aggregation and edge services with compelling financial economics, energy and rack space savings."

Foundry Networks high-end and service provider systems vice president and general manager Ken Cheng said the company has been providing cutting-edge, scalable services for the service market over its 12-year history. "Building on this foundation, the NetIron CES 2000 Series is unchallenged in the industry in terms of combined Carrier Ethernet price and performance, space and energy efficiency." Cheng said in a statement.

"With this advanced carrier grade solution, Foundry produces a new dynamic for edge/aggregation scalability, while staying true to Foundry's core values of wire-speed performance, operational efficiency and an unparalleled value proposition," he said.

In July, data center networking solutions provider Brocade (brocade.com) signed an approximate $3 billion agreement to acquire Foundry Networks.
