Enterprise dual-mode phone router runs Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| The Linux implementation was reportedly developed in-house. Agito's core 
| applications were developed to be cross-platform, and "software integration  
| into Linux was very seamless," according to Pejman Roshan, VP of marketing.

3Com ‘reenters’ RP, bets on open source

,----[ Quote ]
| Orcun Tezel, technical director of 3Com South Asia, explained that although 
| 3Com routers and switches now come with pre-integrated open-source 
| applications, its Open Services Networking (OSN) further 
| allows "best-ofbreed" applications to run on the Linux-based platform.

| 'You'll often hear members of our open source team say, "Every
| time you use Google, you're using Linux." It's absolutely true. Check
| a Google engineer's workstation, and you'll probably find it's running
| Linux. Do a search on Google.com, and a Linux server will return your
| results. Ever since Google got its start, Linux has given us the power
| and flexibility we need to serve millions of users around the world.'

3Com, IBM extend VOIP/messaging interoperability

,----[ Quote ]
| The VCX/Sametime interoperability also extends to 3Com and IBM
| software running on stand-alone servers. (3Com ships VCX systems
| on a Linux-based appliance, and IBM's Sametime runs on a variety 
| of operating systems and server hardware).

3Com: Turnaround Depends on IBM Deal

,----[ Quote ]
| And that open source voice over IP system, called Asterisk, has reached
| its tipping point. But instead of ignoring such threats, 3Com appears
| ready to embrace them. In fact, I hear that 3Com plans to address
| the Asterisk market within the next few months.

3Com Evaluating Askerisk Strategy

,----[ Quote ]
| The manager politely danced around the question, then indicated that
| 3Com planned to address Asterisk without necessarily competing with
| the open source system. Sounds like 3Com is piecing together a
| strategy to embrace Asterisk. Could there be a partnership or
| acquisition around the corner?
| 
| [...]
| 
| Supporting Asterisk would propel 3Com?s open platform strategy
| forward.

3Com touts open source

,----[ Quote ]
| 3Com's OSN module is a Linux-based server blade that fits into
| the company's 6000 series routers. It is designed to run
| applications that benefit from being close to the network
| layer, the company says.

3Com introduces first 'open services' product

,----[ Quote ]
| Launched at the end of last year, OSN is basically an effort to bring 
| some server capabilities into network appliances by using a 
| Linux-based server blade, as well as to allow users to plug 
| open-source modules into the appliance.
| 
| [...]
| 
| Interestingly, there is a twist in 3Com's adoption of open source: 
| Its founder, Metcalfe, was once known to be anti-open source. 
| Fortunately, Metcalfe has since become a convert in line with the OSN.

Networks finally learning to work together

,----[ Quote ]
| A more technically interesting solution that 3Com has just rolled out is a
| Linux blade running in its high end switches.
|
| "Imagine a switch or router with a little bit of extra hardware 
| running Linux. We are inviting our partners to put their stuff on
| there, essentially a Linux PC on a blade. It's not about replacing
| servers, it's about putting an app into the network, like WAN
| optimization, packet analysis, netflow, security, things like
| this," he said.

California city connects with open-source networking

,----[ Quote ]
| Reliance on open source has been inexpensive and stable, says IT 
| manager for Madera, Calif.
| 
| [...]
| 
| In Madera's case, two Vyatta Inc. routers that run on the Debian 
| GNU/Linux-based open-source operating system helped Wheeler consolidate 
| routers in the city's data center last year. By eliminating eight Cisco 
| routers that needed upgrading in order to accommodate additional traffic, he 
| said he saved the city $16,000, spending about one-third of what he would 
| have spent on the Cisco router upgrade.     
| 
| In a more dramatic money-saving move, the city did a complete network upgrade 
| to implement a voice-over-IP system based on Asterisk, an open-source PBX 
| system from Digium Inc. in Huntsville, Ala. The Asterisk VoIP system cost 
| about $120,000, whereas a Cisco system would have run about $400,000, he 
| said.

Vyatta Delivers Twice the Performance of Cisco at Half the Price

,----[ Quote ]
| Vyatta today announced the release of independent third-party testing
| results from The Tolly Group that measured the throughput and
| performance of the open-source, x86-based Vyatta router and
| firewall appliance versus the proprietary Cisco 2821 ISR.
| 
| "This report shatters the myth that proprietary hardware products
| are a better choice than standard x86-based systems for network
| infrastructure," said Dave Roberts, VP of strategy and marketing
| at Vyatta. "For the majority of routing applications, open-source
| software and x86-based hardware can easily address the performance
| requirements and at significantly lower price points."
