Network

Vyatta Network Virtualization Software


Vyatta takes the concept of virtualization beyond just applications and operating systems and allows users who are employing virtualization technologies to also virtualize the network. Vyatta embraced the shift to virtualization as a network delivery platform with the first network virtual machine back in 2006. As the trend evolved, Vyatta has been at the leading edge of delivering networking to virtualization enabled appliances and architectures such as:

*  Edge Consolidation: Special-purpose devices are giving way to best-of-breed, multi-function, integrated solutions enabled by virtualization platforms.

*  Virtualization: Infrastructure consolidation requires security and traffic management with the same visibility and protection as physical networks.

*  Cloud Computing: Moving infrastructure, workloads and applications to and from the cloud requires flexible networking and security.

Riverbed RSP

Consolidating WAN Optimization, Routing and Security


Vyatta and Riverbed have partnered to deliver a consolidated edge device combining the Vyatta network OS with Riverbed Steelhead appliances. Adding Vyatta's routing and security software to the Riverbed Services Platform (RSP) enables enterprises to deploy a single best-of-breed edge device to connect, protect and optimize branch office networks.

Running Vyatta on Riverbed Steelhead appliances delivers:

*  Edge routing services (BGP, OSPF, RIP, and static routes)

*  IPSec and SSL-based OpenVPN for site-to-site and remote access VPN

*  Stateful packet inspection firewall

*  Intrusion prevention, web filtering, QoS and more

*  Reduced cost compared to separate appliances

*  Reduced space and power requirements

*  No need to stock spares of expensive, proprietary, hardware-based products


Vyatta and Riverbed have verified Vyatta's routing and security software runs in the Riverbed Services Platform (RSP). In this environment, Vyatta can provide full routing (BGP, OSPF, RIP, and static routes) and security features (stateful firewalling, NAT, VPN, IPS, etc.) In a typical configuration, Vyatta is deployed on the RSP and configured to operate on the WAN-side of the networking connection to process inbound traffic before the RSP passes the traffic to the Steelhead for processing for full Riverbed functionality and sent to the LAN. Traffic in the reverse direction is first accelerated by the standard Steelhead functionality, then processed by Vyatta and sent to the WAN.

PLUS Security

Vyatta PLUS Enhanced Services

Vyatta PLUS services are subscription-based enhanced security solutions available as add-on services to the Vyatta Subscription Edition software and appliances.

VyattaGuard Web Filtering

The first Vyatta PLUS service, VyattaGuard web filtering adds enhanced protection and policy enforcement to Vyatta Subscription Edition networking software using an advanced Web 2.0 content inspection engine for:

*  HR Compliance (pornography, hate speech)

*  Productivity (social media, shopping)

*  Liability / Parental Controls (violence, weapons, nudity)

*  Managing Bandwidth Consumption (p2p, streaming media)

*  Web-based Threat Mitigation (phishing / malware)


Vyatta Sourcefire VRT IPS Rules

Vyatta's Sourcefire VRT based network intrusion prevention and detection system provides integration of the industry-leading Snort rules used by security professionals worldwide. Rather than traditional exploit-based signatures, which provide no protection against unknown threats, Vyatta PLUS Sourcefire VRT rules:

*  Provide protection against any possible exploitation of a vulnerability

*  Protect customers before exploits are released

*  Trigger reliably, without false positive and false negatives

*  Allow for a manageable number of updates and rules
