Cardiff University Plans 40 Gbps Campus Backbone

Cardiff University, a major university in the United Kingdom, has deployed Foundry Networks’ 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) for its campus backbone. Later this year, Cardiff expects to be one of the first UK organizations to deploy Foundry’s new 40-Gigabit-ready BigIron MG8 switching and routing system.
The Foundry network will provide connections for up to 20,000 users at the University’s main campus and for 5,000 users at the University of Wales College of Medicine, which is located nearby. Pervasive Networks serves as integrator for the project. Financial terms were not disclosed.
