BELMONT, CA--(Marketwire - January 19, 2010) - Vyatta, the leader in open networking and
network virtualization, today announced a multi-million dollar, large-scale
deployment plan with one of the world's largest telecommunications
providers. In preparation for launching under the telecom's renowned brand
in the coming months, a private briefing for key industry analysts was
conducted recently under NDA.
By deploying tens of thousands of Vyatta virtual machines across the
network infrastructure, the telecom is able to provide a new breed of
dynamic business services while simultaneously eliminating entire classes
of proprietary hardware-based devices. This capability, unique to Vyatta's
software-based approach to networking, has enabled transformational
technology and business strategy for the telecom.
"Service providers that are able to leverage advances in virtualization and
networking are in a unique position to bring to market the next-generation
of premises-based equipment and services for Enterprise branch offices.
This technology will simplify the management and deployment of edge devices
and services and fundamentally alter the economics of managed service
delivery," said Joe Skorupa, research vice president at Gartner.
"This is the world's first highly virtualized telecom infrastructure," said
Kelly Herrell, Vyatta CEO. "The technological foresight of our partner is
truly impressive. With one modern offering they achieve what every telecom
desires: radically lower costs, multiple revenue streams, and
differentiation to attract and retain business customers. It's central to
their business strategy."
Vyatta's open networking approach has produced an intense disruption to the
industry. With a rapidly-growing community and customer validation around
the world, the rate of Vyatta's adoption is surprising many people.
"The networking industry is rapidly realizing the strategic importance of
what Vyatta enables," added Herrell. "Whether it's the ability to create
advanced solutions using virtualization, or to integrate networking
functionality into cloud computing environments, network designers have the
freedom to enable the services they need while at the same time leveraging
the superb performance and economics provided by x86 hardware. We will
continue to build on our momentum as we pursue our mission to fundamentally
alter the networking industry."
