VyOS – For Educational Institutions

VyOS for educational institutions

Modern educational institutions face the necessity to regulate internet connectivity, protect more network-stored data, build efficient cloud-based solutions and enforce access control from dozens of servers or Wi-Fi hotspots at a time. VyOS offers an effective medium for controlling and managing wired and wireless connections between on-premises (classrooms, labs, campus) and remote locations.

Given you already have your plate full with educating the next generation, we’d love to contribute and offer said network support services for free.

Wireless campus infrastructure
Despite solid Wi-Fi connections being a necessity in a modern-day campus, the sheer number of connected devices makes bandwidth a serious challenge.

VyOS helps you manage traffic flows at any scale with dynamic and policy-based routing protocols. We empower the use of cloud technologies and infrastructure virtualization to further cut hardware maintenance costs.
Secure internal research environment
We understand that many universities do not limit their research activities to a certain location. VyOS ensures a secure connection between different environments with a variety of tunneling protocols: IPsec, VXLAN, IPIP, SIT, GRE.

A powerful, zone-based NAT firewall will further enhance the reliability and security of your remote infrastructure offering you more access control.

Why VyOS?

VyOS is a completely open-source, community-driven project where you will help us shape the future of network operations. Predictions aside, we offer the following benefits here and now:

Scalability
VyOS is only limited by the computing power at your disposal. Scale effortlessly from low-bandwidth to tens of Gbps when the need arises.
Flexibility
You can deploy VyOS from a ready for action image at any time. Our OS will adapt and improve your environment instead of forcing you to redesign infrastructure.
Cost Savings
Focus your resources where it matters. VyOS supports virtualization allowing you to save on networking expenses.
Management
We offer a centralized CLI to manage your operations, resources and traffic.
