The most recent code versions for each of the ServerIron platforms: FCSLB8/16/XLs = 7.5 SI400/SI800s with WSM4s = 9.4 SI-4G = 11.0 SI GTC/GTE/350/450/850s with WSM6/7s = 11.0
The ADXs started at 12.0 and go up from there. I'd go for a 4G and/or GT if you can pick one up on the cheap. If not, you'll still get a lot more with a SI400/WSM4 than an old XL. -----Original Message----- From: foundry-nsp [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Eldon Koyle Sent: Monday, May 13, 2013 12:24 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [f-nsp] Serveriron XL vs ADX If you are only wanting to play with basic load-balancing, they are relatively similar IIRC (it's been about 4 years since we upgraded from the XLs to the ADXes). The old XLs don't support the new content-based load balancing (ie. using an HTTP header to set affinity or using the URL to decide which server to send traffic to, I think brocade calls it 'content switching').
