Evaluation Based on Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute: Foundry Networks, a performance and total solutions leader for end-to-end switching and routing, today announces it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the visionaries quadrant of the October 2006 Global Campus LAN Magic Quadrant report. This report positions vendors in one of four quadrants based on the companies' vision and ability to execute on that vision. The four quadrants are Visionaries, Niche Players, Leaders and Challengers. According to Gartner, “a visionary in the LAN switching market demonstrates an ability to increase features in its offering to provide a unique and differentiated approach to the market. A visionary will have innovated in one or more of the key areas of campus LAN technologies (such as convergence, security, data centre and operational efficiency).” Bobby Johnson, president and chief executive officer for Foundry Networks said: “We are extremely pleased to see that Gartner recognises Foundry Networks as a visionary in the LAN switching market.
