Foundry Networks AccessIron Routers

AccessIron

The AccessIron family of enterprise wide area network (WAN) access routers delivers high performance, unparalleled scalability, plus an advanced feature set, giving organizations the WAN routing capabilities they need for the most demanding networking environments.
With Foundry AccessIron WAN solutions, enterprises and service providers benefit from:

• Scalable NxT1/E1 and T3 WAN access solutions
• Three times the performance of competitive industry platforms
• Highly integrated platform with advanced layer 2 and layer 3 functionality, a high performance processor, large memory capacity, built-in CSU/DSU and DSX-1 voice support
• Complete suite of software tools to easily manage bandwidth and services for reliable delivery of voice, video, and data communications over the same infrastructure
• High quality video and multimedia communications
• Lower total cost of ownership
• Flexible deployment options
• Reliable multimedia application delivery

In today's business world, loss of Internet or network connectivity can adversely impact potential sales, employee productivity, vital communications, and customer service. Robust high performance routers from Foundry Networks ensure business continuity for enterprises and service providers, enabling the highest possible system availability while simultaneously guarding against potential network incidents that can cause interruptions to service.

Foundry AccessIron routers can be deployed in a variety of network configurations that maximize system uptime with no single point of failure. Some of the advanced technologies found in the AccessIron family include the following:

• Multilink PPP & Multilink Frame Relay provide resilient and scalable network access
• QoS for guaranteed bandwidth in the event of a failure
• VRRP, BGP, & multihoming for redundant path and router failover
• VLAN tagging & forwarding to isolate configuration or software failures
• Redundant components for resiliency to component failures

The AccessIron products make an ideal WAN access component for wireless local area networks (WLANs) due to their ability to provide consistent performance, scalability, and advanced routing capabilities. In addition, they also have specific features designed for wireless networks that reduce infrastructure costs and simplify management, tracking, and billing.

Foundry's Virtual Ethernet solution allows organizations to cost-effectively scale and transparently extend their Ethernet LANs across a wide area network (WAN), making the WAN and LAN appear as a single Ethernet network.

Foundry AccessIron edge routers can be deployed in a transparent layer 2 mode into existing infrastructure while still providing some layer 3 functions. As a result, network administrators can leverage existing routing, QoS, VLAN, management, and security policies as they improve the performance, scalability, and reliability of their WAN access capabilities.

In addition to providing high-performance, scalable access for a variety of voice, video, and data applications, Foundry AccessIron products include and extensive suite of advanced security features that include password, access control, network address translation (NAT), encryption, authentication, stateful packet inspection (SPI), and virtual local area network (VLAN) tagging and forwarding protections.

When used for security applications, AccessIron routers provide:

• Protection from unauthorized access
• Improved data privacy and integrity
• Fewer service disruptions caused by accidental or malicious attacks
  
  The Foundry AccessIron family of access routers allow the networking professional to design and build a complete, high performance solution from the edge and remote locations. Combined with the award winning FastIron, BigIron, ServerIron, IronPoint and NetIron products, solutions can be delivered from the edge to the core without sacrificing performance.
