BELMONT, CA--(Marketwire - June 15, 2010) - Vyatta, the leader in open networking and network virtualization, today announced that its virtual routing and security software has been selected as the foundation network level of NEC Networks & System Integration Corporation's (NESIC) Consolidated Network Services (CNS). The CNS combines high-performance x86 servers, a VMware virtualization platform, and network virtual appliances from Vyatta, Citrix and Checkpoint to deliver best-of-breed networking solutions on a single virtual server.
"With nearly every enterprise around the world under pressure to reduce costs, our Consolidated Network Services introduces a new approach that ensures long-term scalability and eliminates the need to buy multiple, single-purpose hardware devices," said Yasuo Iijima, Senior Vice President and Member of the Board of NESIC. "Vyatta's unique software-based network operating system, delivered as optimized virtual machines, is a key component of this offering."
NESIC and Vyatta are embracing the massive technology shifts occurring in multi-core x86 processing power and virtualization to deliver the next generation of networking solutions.
