The Vyatta 514 provides all the security, performance, and functionality of proprietary networking solutions at a fraction of the cost.

“With the Vyatta 514, small businesses and branch offices are no longer forced to live with the limitations of proprietary networking equipment,” said Kelly Herrell, CEO of Vyatta. “The Vyatta 514 provides a secure routing solution that delivers superior price/performance out of the box and has headroom to upgrade both hardware and software. The combination of Vyatta open-source software and standards-based hardware allows the Vyatta 514 to offer unprecedented flexibility and scalability to small networks.”

The Vyatta 514 appliance includes preinstalled Vyatta software that offers industry standard routing protocols (BGP, OSPF, RIP) and integrated security features (stateful firewall, NAT, IPSec and PPTP VPN) as well as VoIP QoS, high availability, WAN load balancing and more. The appliance hardware includes four onboard 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports, and one PCI expansion slot to add commonly used network interfaces, including 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet, ADSL, and T1/E1. All Vyatta appliances also include Vyatta subscription services.

“The Vyatta 514 is a great solution for small and branch offices,” said Ed Burns, vice-president of technical services at Chameleon Power. “It’s priced right and has all the features a small office needs to connect with the Internet. With the enterprise-class feature set, it will also scale up as our business grows.”
