Communication without boundaries
The P333R-LB
The P333R-LB enhances the P330 stackable switch
solution by providing full load balancing and
routing functionality in a single switch.
Recent trends in network equipment in general,
and switches in particular, have been towards
ease of use and deployment.
Avaya leads these trends: the P333R-LB continues
the P330 family tradition of being powerful, simple,
flexible and offering an unprecedented price/
performance ratio.
Flexible
The P333R-LB has the same flexibility as the P330
system: The P333R-LB has both expansion module
to allow a variety of uplinks (fiber Ethernet,
GE copper fiber or GBIC and even ATM) and
a stackability option.
This stackability option allows scalability and
investment protection for customers needing more
ports and load balancing throughput, increasing
investment protection on any network design.
Transparent
Once configured, the P333R-LB “disappears” as far
as your users are concerned. As a result, you do not
need to perform a large-scale reconfiguration to
benefit from increased availability and throughput.
Price/Performance
However good a product is, it must deliver the
performance you need at a viable price. The P333R-LB
provides all your load balancing needs in a single,
compact switch.
With the P333R-LB, you can now afford to implement
full Layer 2 and 3 switching and Layer 4 load bal-
ancing anywhere in your network. Now applications
such as Server load balancing, Firewall Load
Balancing, Application Redirection and Policy-based
load balancing have become cost-effective.
The P333R-LB provides all this in one switch.
Compare this with other solutions that require
several expensive switches to perform the
same functionality.
