Web-based CRM software provider chooses top-of-rack access switches
to improve the performance and responsiveness of its network
SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb 8, 2011 – Force10 Networks, Inc., a global technology leader, today
announced that LeadMaster has selected high-performance, low-latency top-of-rack S-Series™
access switches from Force10 Networks. The Atlanta-based customer relationship management
(CRM) software provider selected Force10 1/10 Gibabit Ethernet switches as part of an overall
network refresh designed to improve reliability and performance and better position the business
for rapid changes in the marketplace.
“Many price and performance factors were considered as we evaluated switches for our nextgeneration
network,” says Andy Brownell, LeadMaster Chief Operating Officer. “The S-Series
stood alone with its ability to deliver dependable and sustained performance, complete
redundancy, affordable price points and a modular operating system that provided powerful
management features.”
S-Series Switches Contribute to Lower Costs and Greater Customer Confidence
The S50N access switch runs on the modular Force10 Operating System (FTOS), which delivers
the stability and management functionality required in virtualized deployments. For example,
Force10’s VirtualView software provides real-time network and application traffic monitoring for
virtualized data centers. FTOS leverages a distributed, multiprocessor architecture coupled with
non-blocking, low-latency switching to offer the performance capabilities that LeadMaster wanted
as it built out its next-generation environment.
The cloud computing sales lead management/CRM software provider recognized that FTOS
maintained a stable code base with an industry-standard common management interface and tool
set that would contribute significantly to reducing operational expenses, which leads to an overall
lower cost of ownership. Port density also plays a role in lowering costs. The compact, highdensity
S50 switch provides 48 GbE access ports and up to four optional 10 GbE uplinks in just
1-RU. As network demands continue to increase, scalable stacking technology supports 384 GbE
ports with up to eight S50Ns.
“As a cloud computing lead management/CRM software provider, LeadMaster is keenly aware
that providing a reliable, high-performance, world-class network architecture is a fundamental
contributor to revenue generation,” says Arpit Joshipura, chief marketing officer, Force10
Networks. “With all of its performance and management functionality, deploying S-Series access
switches will help ensure customer confidence remains high due to the fast and reliable
performance of its network.”
