This is to meet demands for increased networking capacity for a wide range of crucial projects, from digitizing current and historical library collections and materials, to embracing virtualization in order to control costs through better use of substantial server infrastructure. These IT infrastructure enhancements strengthen the ability of the Library to continue a mission of educating not just UK residents, but citizens of the world through digital access to holdings. The new switches augment existing Foundry equipment already installed.
Stephen Lilgert, the British Library's head of infrastructure strategy and development, said, "Publishers are legally required to send us a hard copy of every publication produced in the UK and Ireland. We hold material dating back to 300 B.C. and have treasures such as the Magna Carta, Leonardo da Vinci's notebooks, the first Times newspaper published on March 18, 1788, and even original manuscripts of Beatles songs.''
A long-time user of Foundry technology and solutions, the British Library originally installed Foundry BigIron 8000 backbone switches, FastIron 4802 and FastIron Edge switches in 2000 at Boston Spa after a full OJEC(2) tender process. This was to replace an obsolete FDDI(3)-based 3Com network, which was already then five years old.
Bob Schiff, Foundry's vice president and general manager, Enterprise Business Unit, said, "The British Library plays a huge role in capturing the intellectual capital of the nation and is a renowned knowledge repository not only for the UK, but for the entire world. The fact that one of the largest libraries in the world has standardized on Foundry is a testament to the performance and reliability of our technology. We are proud to be its networking solutions provider of choice as the Library continues digital archiving and opening its enduring collection to users far and wide.''
