Vyatta featured on Network Computing: “Vyatta Announces New 3500 Series Routers�

Vyatta news: Vyatta will announce a new 3500 series of open source routers this week that run on the Intel Xeon 5500 “Nehalem” chips and promise bi-directional traffic at up to 20Gbps. Scrappy Vyatta compares the 3500s to Cisco’s ASR 1006s, but it’s doubtful they will take a big bite out of Cisco’s sales any time soon. That said, the new series of routers provides real cost savings to small enterprise customers (users numbering in the hundreds) who can’t afford proprietary options. That’s a serious draw in hard economic times.

Vyatta featured on CNET News: “The yin and yang of system specialization�

Vyatta news: Systems are getting more general-purpose. At least in terms of units sold, servers with two x86 processors dominate the landscape.
And it’s more than just servers. For example, on Tuesday Vyatta announced a new series of new network appliances, the Vyatta 3500. These systems, like the other appliances that Vyatta sells, combine standard off-the-shelf x86 server hardware with an integrated software subscription that provides networking functions such as Firewall, VPN, IP address management, administration, diagnostics, and so forth. Vyatta pitches its appliance as a much lower-priced alternative to dedicated networking hardware from the likes of Cisco.
