Financial terms were not disclosed. Foundry has previously announced 10-Gigabit Ethernet deployments by The University Health Network in Toronto, the London Internet Exchange (LINX), Walter Reed Hospital, Amsterdam Internet Exchange, and The University of Southern California Information Sciences Institute (USC-ISI).
