I will likely never buy or recommend Foundry equipment again. In a previous gig, a HPC enviorment, they caused us many problems, support was horrible, and thier 10Gbit kit was the pits when it was first released (no idea how it is now or what they offer, its been 5 years since. burnt once, twice shy). We replaced most all our Foundry L2 gear with HP 8212s which met our expectations. Brocade is the king of license gouging, it is no surprise they want money to view a pdf. Force10 and Extreme are both having sales this month on 24 port 10Gbit switches, $20k off almost. -g ________________________________________ From: David Hubbard [dhubbard@dino.hostasaurus.com] Sent: Thursday, March 11, 2010 1:31 PM To: nanog@nanog.org Subject: RE: 10GBase-t switch From: Malte von dem Hagen [mailto:mvh@hosteurope.de]

To be fair, Foundry removed their manuals from public view a good few years ago, long before Brocade came on the scene. It annoyed me too. Jethro. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Jethro R Binks Computing Officer, IT Services, University Of Strathclyde, Glasgow, UK
