Hi, John,
One of the Foundry ServerIron's most significant product strengths
is its price/performance (Foundry quotes a total fabric capacity of 56Gig,
yet the entry price point for the product is only $14,995 (or at least it
was last I checked a month or two ago). Not all LBs are created equal,
however, and it is worth checking the ServerIron's capability with respect
to such areas as box failover, secondary server failover and VRRP support
among others. Foundry's IronView is a good web-based element
manager with some pretty functional auto-discovery, change control, VLAN and
ACL config management built in. Foundry's web site has a pretty good
walkthrough
of all of IronView's features and functionality at:
http://www.foundrynetworks.com/products/networkman/ironview/features.html
Hope this helps.
Cheers, John
