Version 6.1 first look and look back
We are entering the release cycle of our eighth major software package in 4 years. The feature set of Vyatta has grown deep and wide in that time frame and the customer and community user bases have followed closely. I can remember the early challenges of delivering a stable routing code base that would handle a reasonable amount of traffic. Today we are running networks around the world and covering DSL to 10GbE edge routing. The solution now includes a comprehensive security suite, pllus we have added some significant features for new architectures like cloud and virtualization. Since I am feeling a little nostalgic, I thought it might be fun for those of you that are adventurous to take a look back at Vyatta Version 1.0 iso image. This is definitely not recommended for production use....enjoy!

VYATTA CEO INSIGHTS
BLOG: Wanted Cisco IOS Virtual Machine

Try any of that with hardware-bound solutions and you'll have a team of admins busy swapping wires.

BLOG: Goldman on the Changing Network - "Fat Core, Thin Edge"
It's a logical progression: If you place assets somewhere in the distance, network performance must improve accordingly. However, since Network Edge already accounts for a larger proportion of IT spending than the data center, two things have to happen simultaneously:
- Edge Network infrastructure must perform better with even more functions; and
- Edge Network cost has to be far less than the sum of the traditional parts.
