Improve your Exoscale with VyOS

Exoscale is a European cloud provider focusing on simplicity and security. Its goal is to provide simple, scalable, and affordable cloud infrastructure services.

As an alternative to big, powerful but expensive virtual server providers, or hosting servers with limited support possibilities, Exoscale intends to provide an easy-to-use cloud offering and solid support. At the heart of Europe, Exoscale’s servers offer reduced latency and the great protection afforded by Swiss data protection legislation. Realizing the fact that users want to benefit from a cloud server near their home, the Swiss startup has, therefore, changed its strategy to develop local servers and become a European player. For issues of latency, legality, but also trust — it is understood that users prefer to know their data near home.

Being an EU-based company, VyOS is also an open-source network OS based on GNU/Linux that provides a unified management interface for all-functional traditional hardware routers. Designed to assume the role of a central point of secure traffic exchange in the cloud environment, or between the cloud and external resources, VyOS has a powerful routing, VPN, and firewall functionality. It's a well-known all-in-one networking solution for organizations whose values are flexibility and high effectiveness.

Along with bare metal and hypervisors, it runs on cloud platforms that allow using the same OS and connecting your on-premises networks to cloud sites without the limitations and costs of vendor-specific VPN solutions. Additionally, you can build an inexpensive remote access VPN for your distant personnel.
