Foundry's ServerIronGT E Series features purpose-built high availability Layer 4-7 application switches for business-critical application acceleration and delivery in mid-sized enterprise and service provider data centers. These switches deliver the convenience of an appliance, traditionally only available on a PC platform, without sacrificing high availability, expandability and performance upgradeability to meet current and future business and application needs. The ServerIronGT E series switches are an alternative to the compact ServerIronGT C series switches in data center deployments where greater port density and full front serviceability are key requirements.With a choice of two performance levels and three pre-equipped port configurations, the ServerIronGT E Series switches offers turn-key deployment into an existing network to add application acceleration and delivery. These switches can be expanded on demand for higher port density or dual-active management modules for doubling performance. Customers can benefit from on-demand and upgradeable hardware-based SSL acceleration service module for secure Web transactions.
