2. Security needs to be throughout the network, and that's no longer empty talk:

Vyatta, software based on virtual and cloud infrastructure, also introduced a new technology called vPlane Technology. The vPlane Tech is mainly used to free the networks from the congestion of traffic bottlenecks.

A Layer 3 router plane, Vyatta vPlane is architecturally separate from the network controller. With the help of Intel Westmere – class architecture, Vyatta were keen on saying that with a 10x improvement, the vPlane is capable of delivering more than 8 million packets per second per core. What adds up to this is a delivery of 35 million packets per second from the entire Westmere system can bring real magic to the cloud infrastructure.

"It's no longer sufficient to have security just at the network perimeter," said Scott Sneddon, Vyatta's Director of Cloud Solutions. "Security must be baked into cloud infrastructures. In virtualized and cloud environments, security should be everywhere in the network, not just at the edges."
