Vyatta
Vyatta's open, software-based approach to networking has created a complete network OS that can connect and secure physical networks as well as virtual and cloud computing infrastructures. Vyatta software and appliances offer users a flexible, affordable alternative to proprietary, hardware-based routers, firewalls, VPN concentrators and intrusion prevention devices.
Vyatta manufactures an open source router/firewall/VPN product for Internet Protocol networks (IPv4 and IPv6). A free download of Vyatta has been available since March 2006. The system is a specialized Debian-based Linux distribution with networking applications such as Quagga, OpenVPN, and many others. A standardized management console, similar to Juniper JUNOS or Cisco IOS, in addition to a web-based GUI and traditional Linux system commands, provides configuration of the system and applications. In recent versions of Vyatta, web-based management interface is supplied only in the subscription edition, however, all functionality is available through KVM, serial console or SSH/telnet protocols.
Vyatta is also delivered as virtual machines to offer virtual networking (vrouter, vfirewall, VPN) functionality for Xen, VMware and Amazon EC2 virtual and cloud computing environments.
The Vyatta system is intended as a replacement for Cisco IOS 1800 through ASR 1000[1] series Integrated Services Routers (ISR) and ASA 5500 security appliances, with a strong emphasis on the cost and flexibility inherent in an open source, Linux-based system[2] running on commodity x86 hardware or in Xen or VMware virtual environments. Vyatta also provides a Cisco Replacement Guide[3] on its website which shows various Cisco products and the comparable Vyatta/x86 solutions.
