Vyatta - Awards

	InfoWorld Best of Open Source 2009 InfoWorld's 2009 Bossies spotlight today's Top 40 open source products for business and IT pros.

	CRN Emerging Vendors 2009 This year, we found 140 emerging vendors packing more innovative technology at a better price for your customers and putting significantly more cash in your pockets.

	10 Cool Products for an Open Source World From mobile phones to network infrastructure to fun desktop applications, here's a look at 10 products that embrace Linux and other open-source ways of life.

	InfoWorld's annual Bossies recognize the best free and open source software the world has to offer to businesses, IT professionals, and productive individuals who rely on computers to get work done.

	CRN's Emerging Tech list highlights companies that are delivering high margins for solution providers with innovative and easy-to-use technology that undercuts industry giants.

	We think Vyatta is a company to watch because it has a compelling technology, and because its offerings appeal to companies that don't have a Cisco-sized budget. (And to companies that do, but would prefer to save the money for other things, like salaries.)

	CRN 25 Coolest Emerging Vendors Forget Cisco, Microsoft and HP. Upstart emerging vendors are socking it to the lumbering old school players with innovative cutting-edge technology backed up by channel programs that pack more margin and support.

	InformationWeek asked readers to vote which startups they think have the most compelling technologies.

	Kelly Herrell named to 50 Most Powerful People in Networking - Herrell wants Vyatta to be to Cisco what Red Hat is to Microsoft; that is, an open source thorn in the side of a market-dominating incumbent. In Herrell's case, he's pricking the giant with an open source router.

	Red Herring 100 Award is given to the top 100 private technology companies based in North America. Vyatta was recognized for driving innovation in open-source networking with its enterprise-class, open-source networking solutions that include router, firewall and VPN functionality.

	In combing the Earth for these startups, we looked at three things: (1) Quality of the idea; (2) Quality of the people; and (3) Quality of the investors. If you get all three right, chances are you're on the path to success. We focused particularly on the people factor - especially the founders and investors - and what they've done before.
