Vyatta: Open-source Router for SMB Market

VYATTA DELIVERS APPLIANCE FOR SMALL NETWORKS

 

Brings Open Networking Performance and Value to Small Businesses and
Branch Offices

 

BELMONT, CALIF. - March 25, 2008 - Vyatta today introduced the Vyatta
514, a networking appliance that combines Vyatta's open-source routing
and security software with a small form factor hardware platform. With
integrated routing, firewall, and VPN features, the Vyatta 514 is
ideally suited to connect small businesses and branch offices to the
Internet or private networks. The Vyatta 514 provides all the security,
performance, and functionality of proprietary networking solutions at a
fraction of the cost.

 

"With the Vyatta 514, small businesses and branch offices are no longer
forced to live with the limitations of proprietary networking
equipment," said Kelly Herrell, CEO of Vyatta. "The Vyatta 514 provides
a secure routing solution that delivers superior price/performance out
of the box and has headroom to upgrade both hardware and software. The
combination of Vyatta open-source software and standards-based hardware
allows the Vyatta 514 to offer unprecedented flexibility and scalability
to small networks."

 

The Vyatta 514 appliance includes preinstalled Vyatta software that
offers industry standard routing protocols (BGP, OSPF, RIP) and
integrated security features (stateful firewall, NAT, IPSec and PPTP
VPN) as well as VoIP QoS, high availability, WAN load balancing and
more. The appliance hardware includes four onboard 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
ports, and one PCI expansion slot to add commonly used network
interfaces, including 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet, ADSL, and T1/E1.  All
Vyatta appliances also include Vyatta subscription services.

 

"The Vyatta 514 is a great solution for small and branch offices," said
Ed Burns, vice-president of technical services at Chameleon Power. "It's
priced right and has all the features a small office needs to connect
with the Internet. With the enterprise-class feature set, it will also
scale up as our business grows."
