Vyatta has achieved a major new release of its community-supported, Debian-based Linux distribution aimed at turning commodity x86 hardware into enterprise routers, firewalls, and VPN appliances. New features in Vyatta Community Edition 3 (VC3) include IPSec VPN, multilink PPP, and BGP scaling and security, the vendor says.
Vyatta is a startup led by former MontaVista VP Kelly Herrell. It has gone through two funding rounds, the most recent led by Internet and cable TV provider Comcast. Although not yet profitable, the company is close, according to VP of Strategy Dave Roberts. "We may or may not need another round," he told LinuxDevices.
