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.

VYATTA IN THE CLOUD 

NO BUZZ - NO HYPE - WE REALLY ADD VALUE IN THE CLOUD

Not to dismiss the merits of the concept or it's potential impact on the market, but  I'm tired of the hype surrounding cloud computing and I assume that many of you are too. 

I promise that Vyatta is not jumping on any bandwagons, selling any vaporware or just throwing around buzzwords.  Vyatta really does have something unique to add to cloud computing environments - see for yourself.
