Force10 Networks has announced that LeadMaster has selected high-performance, low-latency top-of-rack S-Series access switches from Force10 Networks.

According to a release, the Atlanta-based customer relationship management (CRM) software provider selected Force10 1/10 Gigabit 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 next-generation 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."

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.

"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 LeadMaster's network."
