NetLogic NL5000 deployed in Foundry Networks switches, routers

The NL5000 processors from NetLogic Microsystems Inc. have been incorporated, tested and deployed in Foundry Networks' BigIron family of switches and routers.

Foundry Networks' BigIron family is built for bandwidth intensive enterprise networks to support business and research applications including high bandwidth campus backbone, data center aggregation, cluster and grid computing, converged (voice, video, image and data) communications, storage networking, financial transactions, as well as government, healthcare and university super-computing research projects.

Meanwhile, the NetLogic Microsystems' NL5000 knowledge-based processors are built on an advanced 7-layer copper 0.13?m CMOS logic process with high-speed and low-power transistors.
