BELMONT, CA--(Marketwire - August 31, 2010) - Vyatta, the leader in open networking and network virtualization, today announced that IDG's InfoWorld has honored the company with a third consecutive Bossie Award. The 2010 Bossie Award for the Vyatta open routing and security software once again validates Vyatta's long-standing technology leadership and provides further impetus for the industry to standardize on open source networking.
"Our goal from the inception of Vyatta has been to challenge traditional vendors on price, performance and overall value while creating a new breed of network operating system that easily addresses physical, virtual and cloud computing environments," said Kelly Herrell, CEO of Vyatta. "This third consecutive Bossie award is significant affirmation that we are succeeding at reaching these goals. All it takes is a visit to the Vyatta customer community to see why. Our customers recognize that Vyatta easily handles their enterprise networking requirements while providing all the flexibility and affordability benefits of open-source."
Vyatta's recent release of Vyatta 6.1 continues to expand the applicability of software-based networking across physical, virtual and cloud infrastructures, offering several key advances including IPv6 certification, cloud-specific features and enhanced security. Vyatta 6.1 makes it easier for large, distributed organizations to connect, protect and secure physical, virtual and cloud computing environments, while making it possible for any enterprise to quickly and cost-effectively right-size their infrastructures to meet rapidly evolving demands.
Companies around the world rely on technology to enable and enhance their business operations and deliver on their business strategies. The InfoWorld Bossie Awards recognize each year the best business-oriented open source software products.
"The Bossie 2010 award winners are our top picks among open source projects for many different reasons," said Doug Dineley, executive editor, Test Center, InfoWorld. "Some are longtime favorites, and others are completely new. Some are fast ways to fulfill a familiar need, while others allow companies to do things that weren't possible or affordable until they came along. The one quality they all share is extreme usefulness, and a combination of features that beats all others in their class."
