We have recently been looking into a new open source network operating system called Vyatta. There is a commercial product available as well, but we will be focusing in on the community edition for the time being.
Since we got our start firewalling using Linux iptables, we think this is a great opportunity to see how this new NOS has leveraged Linux to create a good product. We hope to be able to learn enough about this to use as a possible solution for our clients.
We will be sure to keep you informed as we progress through the learning process of this technology.
