Startup Of The Week: Vyatta's Open Source Router Takes On Cisco
,----[ Quote ]
| Open source proponents love a good fight. In Vyatta's case, the opponent is
| Cisco Systems. Vyatta argues that open source software and Intel hardware are
| perfectly suitable for routing. The company is storming Cisco's gates with
| venture capital, free code, a volunteer army of developers, and Red Hat's
| business model.

California city connects with open-source networking

| 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.
