    Vyatta Advertisements Not Fit for Print

    October 31, 2009

    I think I found my favorite ad thus far.

    As a freelance designer, I got contacted quite often to design advertisements and marketing collateral. Although, I haven’t done much in way of design for 2009. Most of my work this year involved a fair bit of networking, but a lot of web development on the back end. One habit I still carry forward is looking at how companies market their products and run their advertising campaigns. If it gets my attention for more than 10 seconds, its perfect.

    Why Vyatta makes sense

    October 22, 2009

    I just came across this post by Kelly Herrell, and it highlights some of the key facts on why implementing Vyatta over Cisco makes absolute sense. The amount of R&D that goes into Cisco’s routing and security (approximately $0.5B) is at least 20 times less than the amount that goes into the x86 platform ($300B+).

    Vyatta on the cloud (and running)

    October 22, 2009

    I’ve been dealing with technical issues over the past while getting my network address translations to work on the wonderful, virtual, kicking butt in the cloud, Vyatta router. Finally, it looks like this chapter is coming to a close.

    Moving forward, as a choice for routing platform, Vyatta stands up to the test and lives up to its name. And with some tweaking, you’re able to build a high availability solution in the cloud at literally no cost (except for server fees). Architecture shot below;

    Achieving High Availability with Vyatta on the cloud (continued)

    In the earlier post of building a Vyatta router on the cloud with Amazon EC2, I mentioned that I had issues with setting up a SNAT (source NAT) and made the assumption that it was either a bug or the OS image of Vyatta on Amazon.

    I’ve been working through this issue with Stig from Vyatta on their forums. You can view the messages at http://vyatta.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2908

    Achieving High Availability with Vyatta on the cloud

    October 12, 2009

    Over the past two weeks, I’ve been working on setting up a virtual router on the cloud with the goal of building redundancy, and achieving high availability. After working on different platforms, I’ve come to the conclusion that Vyatta is the best way to go, whether on the cloud or not.

    The router is being used for site to site vpn communication between a central and remote location. There will also be an application server on either end. Your typical network setup would look somewhat like the picture below.
