Network Virtualization Vyatta has created the only networking solution that is optimized to deliver integrated routing and security functionality for physical and virtual environments. Vyatta offers users the unique ability to connect, protect and optimize virtual appliances and applications within popular virtualization platforms by offering a complete software-based network operating system that eliminates the hardware dependencies of proprietary networking gear. Utilizing tools like Xen, VMware and Hyper-V, Vyatta takes the concept of virtualization beyond just applications and operating systems and allows users who are migrating to virtual environments to also virtualize the network.
Consolidation - Inter-VM Security Adding Vyatta vRouter and vFirewall functions can help maintain security policies that were designed for physical networks and provide the same security and traffic management for communications between virtual machines. After

“If we had used physical network infrastructure for this, we would have sacrificed a lot of manageability and driven up our costs. I can recommend Vyatta whole-heartedly to any organization that is looking for a robust networking and security solution that plays well in a virtualized environment.” — Trey Johnson IT Expert University of Florida
Consolidation - Datacenter Resource Maximization Vyatta allows for IT managers to route traffic and secure applications inside a virtualized datacenter environment. As businesses consolidate data center resources internally or in collocation environments Vyatta allows for further reduction in space requirements and optimal server utilization. Vyatta software can add complete routing, firewall, VPN and intrusion prevention services to the virtual datacenter. Web App DB

“Security is always a foremost concern, even for our training and development systems, and Vyatta’s router and firewall gave us the perfect blend of security and accessibility. Vyatta was the only solution we found that allowed us to mirror the architecture of our virtual training and development systems to that of our production environment.” — Scott Francy Honeywell

Network Virtualization Hypervisor / Platform Protection Including Vyatta vFirewall, vRouter and virtual VPN on virtual servers offers administrators a powerful tool to control and manage local and remote access to the management console of the hypervisor or virtualization platform.
Vyatta as Virtualized Edge Security / Gateway
“With Vyatta software, we can do everything we did with our Cisco routers, but suddenly we have none of the limitations associated with proprietary hardware. Instead, we have much more flexibility to add functionality and we get the management and cost benefits of a virtualized network.”

Live Migration – Redundancy, Failover & Testing Where large enterprises are used to purchasing multiple systems to employ proper failover and redundancy at the network edge, that practice is cost prohibitive for many Internet connected businesses. Using live migration functionality such as VMotion, users migrating networking functionality to virtual environments can easily migrate a fully configured virtual appliance from one system to another. This allows for simple migration of configurations from a testing server to a live server or from a failed server to another live system whether across the datacenter or across the world.

Network Virtualization Consolidation – SMB/Branch Resource Maximization Using Vyatta, service providers and IT managers can easily deploy SMB/branch office edge devices that include their choice of services. Collapsing many software-based applications into a single hardware device minimizes space and power requirements, maximizes hardware usage, and offers simplified management. Vyatta’s integrated routing and security software serves as solid foundation for building customized edge devices and service platforms.

“I was looking for a virtual machine that was capable of delivering the security feature set I was used to and more advanced routing functionality than my existing L3 switches. That’s when I found Vyatta,”

Application Density – Horizontal Virtualization In a hosting or colocation environment where an infrastructure contains servers from many different users or an enterprise LAN which is comprised of many departmental segments, a single router or firewall is often insufficient. By virtualizing Vyatta, you can use a single hardware system with multiple virtual machines, each running a separate Vyatta instance. Each Vyatta instance is distinct and can be configured separately—and differently—from others sharing the same hardware. Users can even have command-line or GUI management access to the Vyatta virtual machines, just as if they were physical systems. Customer A
