VYATTA'S NEW FRIEND
CITRIX |
|
Earlier this month Vyatta announced a $10 million round of funding
led by Citrix. The last time we got funding I jokingly wrote about
the fancy new paper shredder and extra toppings we got on our pizza
that week. This time around we got something a lot more
significant, a strong partner that shares a common vision for where networking,
virtualization and cloud are coming together.
As a Vyatta community member you will benefit from Vyatta's
continued growth as a routing and security solution and some new
innovations for
virtualization and cloud computing infrastructures...as an employee I
get to keep my job and pray for extra pepperoni.
Have questions about how Vyatta & Citrix can help you?

look into vyatta - we linked a 50mb metro to an old dell running
vyatta no problem.

We have a couple of Vyatta's running in the data center. They seem
