BELMONT, CA--(Marketwire - February 14, 2011) - Vyatta, the leader in software-based networking for physical, virtual and cloud infrastructures, announced today that Carpathia Hosting, a leading provider of complex managed hosting services for government agencies and enterprises, has selected the Vyatta Network OS to provide on-demand cloud security to customers utilizing Carpathia's InstantOn™ cloud platform.
Carpathia provides secure, reliable and compliant IT infrastructure and management for some of the world's most demanding enterprises and federal agencies.

Carpathia made the decision to choose Vyatta based on:
- Provision On-Demand Networking -- Enabling Carpathia to auto-provision cloud-based network security quickly and easily as needed
- Hypervisor Agnosticism -- Ensuring Vyatta will be compliant with the evolving networking needs of all Carpathia customers
- Open System API -- Allows remote systems to push and pull data to the Vyatta Network OS for configuration, monitoring and reporting
- Datacenter to Cloud Security -- Enabling secure communication and migration of data from remote enterprise to hosted cloud
- Flexible Licensing and Pricing -- Vyatta VSPL, per customer software model eliminates costly hardware
- A Complete Network OS -- Providing each customer with access to an enterprise class layer 2/3 networking solution that is optimized for cloud environments
