Additional Professional Services
Concurrent with the new software, Vyatta also announced two new
Professional Services.
-- Quick Start Configuration Service: With the Quick Start Configuration
Service, Vyatta customers complete a simple questionnaire, and Vyatta's
technical experts will generate a configuration for the customer that can
be loaded onto a Vyatta system. In addition to saving customers time, the
service also leverages the technical knowledge of Vyatta experts to reduce
mistakes and implement security best-practices. The Quick Start
Configuration Service is priced at $497 per system configuration created.
-- Software Upgrade Service: Vyatta's Software Upgrade Service allows
customers to leverage Vyatta's expert technical team to expedite software
upgrades. Customers simply tell Vyatta which systems need to be upgraded
and Vyatta technical staff perform the work remotely. Vyatta will ensure
that the work gets done with a minimum of downtime and will work with
customers to schedule the upgrade so that it presents a minimum of
disruption to their users. The Software Upgrade Service is priced at $297
per system upgraded.
Vyatta runs on standard x86 hardware and delivers a full set of networking
features that allow customers to connect, protect, virtualize, and optimize
