Third-Party Testing Reveals that Open Hardware Beats Proprietary Hardware in LAN Routing Performance
San Mateo, Calif. (PRWeb) March 9, 2007 -- Vyatta today announced the release of independent third-party testing results from The Tolly Group that measured the throughput and performance of the open-source, x86-based Vyatta router and firewall appliance versus the proprietary Cisco 2821 ISR.
“This report shatters the myth that proprietary hardware products are a better choice than standard x86-based systems for network infrastructure,” said Dave Roberts, VP of strategy and marketing at Vyatta. “For the majority of routing applications, open-source software and x86-based hardware can easily address the performance requirements and at significantly lower price points.”
Tolly Report Highlights:
1. (Vyatta) Outperforms the Cisco 2821 router consistently in Layer 3 Ethernet bidirectional zero-loss throughput, achieving up to twice the performance at half the price
2. (Vyatta) Operates at wire-speed across two onboard Gigabit Ethernet ports when forwarding 1,024-byte frames or higher
3. (Vyatta) Delivers lower frame-loss than the Cisco 2821 for all packet sizes and achieves zero frame loss with packets of 1,024 bytes and higher
4. (Vyatta) Leverages standard hardware and the structural cost benefits of the x86 ecosystem offer a flexible, extensive faster solution at attractive price points.
