Vyatta changes the networking game

,----[ Quote ]
| Got a spare server sitting around?
| 
| Nothing fancy — 512 Megs of RAM and a 1.8 GHz processor will work fine.
| 
| Now, want to turn that into a networking box? The equivalent of a Cisco or 
| Juniper router with 1 Gbps capacity?

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.
