Foundry Networks Attains ISO 9001:2000 Certification

Foundry Networks, a performance and total solutions leader for end-to-end
switching and routing, has been granted Foundry ISO 9001:2000 certification for
quality management systems (QMS). Globally recognized and respected, ISO
9001:2000 standards are set by the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO), a Geneva-based worldwide federation of national standard
bodies. This certification demonstrates Foundry's dedication to and
implementation of a dedicated, systematic and quantifiable approach to
quality-of-service standards through a rigorous auditing process.

Richard Bridges, vice president of Operations for Foundry Networks said,
"The quality management system implemented provides reassurance to our
customers that we will continue our long tradition of developing and providing
products, services and support of the highest caliber."

ISO 9001:2000 standards specify organizational requirements in documentation,
procedures and operations for a quality management system and are important for
a business focused on demonstrating its ability to consistently provide products
or services that meet customer satisfaction and applicable regulatory
requirements. In achieving ISO certification, Foundry set solid standards and
baselines in order to meet and exceed benchmarks going forward for quality
customer service and support in the design, development, support and
manufacturing operations of high performance switching, routing, security and
Web traffic management products and solutions.
