Foundry sets bar for switchmetric Foundry brings home all Gigabit Ethernet honors; HP holds Fast Ethernet edge. nwfusion.com BY CHARLIE BRUNO Network World, 09/13/99 Foundry Networks is king of the price/performance hill among Gigabit Ethernet switch makers. Foundry's TurboIron/8 switch swept all three Gigabit Ethernet price/performance testing categories - Layer 2, Layer 3 IP and Layer 3 IPX - in Round Two of the ongoing series of SwitchMetric tests co-sponsored by Network World and The Tolly Group. In sweeping all three Gigabit Ethernet categories, Foundry's TurboIron/8 edged out 3Com's SuperStack II Switch 9300, which last April emerged as the lowest cost-per-gigabit-of-throughput leader in Layer 2 testing. The TurboIron/8 lowered the Layer 2 cost per gigabit of throughput bar, coming in at $1,249, compared to the standing measurement of $1,325 for 3Com's SuperStack II Switch 9300.>> Closing paragraph... <<Clearly, Foundry has emerged as the cost-per-gigabit-of-throughput leader among the vendors that have stepped up to the SwitchMetric challenge. With an average cost-per-gigabit-of-throughput ranking of $2,644 among all switches included in this study, the competition has got some serious catching up to do to reach the TurboIron/8's $1,249 watermark. Is any vendor up to the challenge of knocking Foundry from its perch? We invite any and all to come into the lab and take their best shot.>>> -------- Full article available upon free registration @ the site. The more DD I do on Foundry the better it looks. regards, dkg
