Today’s Enterprise network is critical to the ongoing operations 
of the organization. Network administrators are concerned about 
zero downtime on the network, securing the network from DoS 
attacks, cyber-spying, and malicious users, and maintaining data 
integrity and confidentiality, without adding excessive cost or 
impacting performance. All this in a structure that allows for 
graceful growth as the Enterprise grows.
The BigIron RX Series incorporates exceptional resiliency, security 
and scalability in an architecture designed to scale from the edge to 
the core to minimize TCO. The resilient design includes redundant 
management modules, switch fabrics, fans and power supplies. This 
hardware resiliency is enhanced with software resiliency including 
hitless system failover, graceful restart, MRP, VSRP, and VRRP for 
Layer 2 and Layer 3 resiliency. High priority voice and data traffic fly 
through the chassis utilizing the high performance hardware-based 
QoS features of the RX Series. Wire-speed security is maintained by 
locking out unauthorized users with port security, by filtering 
DoS and unauthorized traffic with ACLs, and by monitoring 
traffic flows with sFlow. The BigIron RX Series allows you to 
grow from just 24 ports of 10/100/1000 at the edge up to 1,536 
ports of 10/100/1000 or 128 ports of 10-Gigabit Ethernet in the 
core. BigIron RX Series provides one common architecture that 
meets the demands of today’s, and tomorrow’s Enterprise network 
needs with high performance, resiliency, security and scalability 
with low TCO.

FOUNDRY FOR ENTERPRISE AND APPLICATION HOSTING SOLUTIONS
Data centers are the core of business operations requiring high 
density, high performance, high security and low latency switching to 
ensure connectivity to mission critical applications.The increasing 
value of the data center to business operations necessitates that data and 
network integrity, confidentiality and security must be maintained 
without impacting performance. 
The BigIron RX Series addresses these needs by acting as the 
gateway and switch fabric of the data center. The density of the 
RX Series allows for growth from the smallest to the largest data 
center. Port aggregation allows for high performance interconnects 
up to  80 Gbps increasing the availability of the server farm. 
Foundry’s hardware based IronShield
 security features protect 
the server farm against Denial of Service (DoS) attacks and provide 
security for maintaining network integrity. The sFlow functionality 
supplies the network access information required to track who has 
accessed which server on the network as a means to provide network 
usage audit trails. Utilizing Foundry’s wire-speed switching and 
filtering to screen and direct traffic to the appropriate server and 
block undesired traffic with minimal latency ensure the optimal 
operation, security and integrity of the network and data center.
