Honeywell Facility Selects Vyatta for Network Virtualization

Vyatta Virtual Router and Firewall Secures Training and Development Systems

Belmont, CA – 2009-05-12 05:00:00 – Vyatta, the leader in open networking and network virtualization, today announced that one of Honeywell's facilities has implemented Vyatta's award winning routing and security software to simulate production manufacturing systems for use in training, system development, and testing. Vyatta was the only solution able to deliver routing and firewalling within a virtual environment that exactly mirrored Honeywell's physical manufacturing network infrastructure.

Honeywell's Specialty Materials automation group wanted to build a VMware-based lab environment that would exactly simulate its production systems for training and testing purposes. To do so, Honeywell needed a virtualization solution that could meet specific criteria: it must be able to isolate the simulated systems from the live network, configure the router and firewall to simulate applications talking across physical networks, and ensure the network in the VMware environment had the same parameters as the physical production network. Vyatta's unique ability to deliver complete network virtualization made it the only solution that met all of Honeywell's criteria for the simulated environment.

Vyatta runs on standard x86 hardware and can be virtualized with modern hypervisors, including Citrix Xen and VMware. Vyatta delivers a full set of networking features that allow customers to connect, protect, virtualize, and optimize their networks, improving performance, reducing costs, and increasing manageability and flexibility over proprietary networking solutions. Vyatta has been deployed by hundreds of customers worldwide in both virtual and non-virtual environments.

"Organizations are embracing virtualization at unseen levels and Fortune 500 organizations like Honeywell are no exception," said Kelly Herrell, CEO of Vyatta. "Today Vyatta is the only networking and security solution that plays equally well in both virtualized and physical environments. As a result, Vyatta has solved a business-critical challenge for Honeywell and delivered economic and management benefits that just aren’t available from proprietary networking solutions."
