VNS3 is a virtual networking platform built for public, private, and hybrid cloud environments that allows users to connect, integrate, and secure cloud-based applications. It enhances network security and has over 2,000 customers in more than 20 countries. VNS3 offers more functionality than competing products like Vyatta and Cisco CSR, including encryption of data in motion, an overlay network, high availability, and the ability to add services through containers.

A virtual networking platform to protect apps in any environment Cohesive Networks’ VNS3 is a cloud-class network security and connectivity platform built for public, private and hybrid cloud environments. Over 2,000 customers in 20+ countries trust VNS3 to enhance network security on top of other cloud networks. VNS3 Data Sheet | Customer Solutions © 2016 Cohesive Networks Comparison: VNS3 and Vyatta Your applications secured Built for cloud Launched in 2008 VNS3 was built for the cloud, defined the cloud networking/NFV market and continues to innovate with instance-based HA, Application Container integration and virtual network management and monitoring. VNS3 allows users to connect, integrate and secure cloud-based applications in any cloud environment. Vyatta was an open source project and was intended as a replacement for Cisco IOS in virtual and physical environments (source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vyatta). Vyatta IPsec and security features are native OpenVPN and OpenSwan implementations. Vyatta brings added complexity to cloud environments including features that aren’t available in cloud, including: Ethernet Encapsulation 802.10 VLANs, PPPoE, Frame Relay, MLPPP, WAN Device Drivers, Intel 10/100 Mbps - 10 Gbps, IEEE 802.11 Wireless, Synchronous Serial - V.35, X.21, RS-422, EIA530, WAL Link Load Balancing, Ethernet Link Bonding, MLPPP, VRRP, Serial Loopback Commands, and LLDP (source: Brocade http://ow.ly/Qlhzf).

Lower price
 VNS3 Pricing also subscription-based but is standard across all clouds, and different editions are offered in order to offer customers a choice based on their use-case. VNS3 pricing ranges from Free to $750/month, excluding server runtime fees Vyatta pricing varies by cloud provider. (e.g. On Softlayer, Vyatta vRouter Virtual Machine monthly subscriptions range from $219/month to $864/month, depending on instance type and not including server runtime fees - source: www.softlayer.com/network-appliances) . Data Security Compliance
 VNS3 allows you to encrypt all your data in monition, even that within the cloud, and you control the encryption keys. Customers build PCI and HIPPA compliant (cloud based) solutions and can follow the NIST Cybersecurity Framework with VNS3. Vyatta does not encrypt your data in motion in the cloud Control over IP Addressing, Network Topologies, and Multicast
 VNS3 provides Overlay Network functionality which was specifically developed for 3rd party owned and operated deployment environments. The Overlay Network allows users to control addressing, topology, protocols, and security in the public cloud Vyatta has no concept of an Overlay Network Scalable, High Availability, Hybrid-Cloud, Multi-Cloud, Multi-Geo
 VNS3 Controller instances are configurable in a mesh. VNS3 can run as a cluster to provide additional features and increased performance in single cloud regions, across regions and even across cloud providers Vyatta vRouter virtual machines are standalone devices - licensed and run as individual instances Extend and customize your network functions 
 VNS3 allows customers to add Layer 4-7 network services via its Docker LXC Container system. Users can add load balancing, proxy, reverse proxy, content caching, IDS, and other functionality directly to their VNS3 devices Vyatta vRouters are static devices with little opportunity for customer/user customization VNS3 Use cases (unachievable with Vyatta alone) 1. Data security compliance - end to end encryption for PCI and HIPPA solutions 2. High Availability - true cloud network failover 3. Cloud WAN - Federated cloud (and global points of presence) 3. Multicast for service election and service discovery 4.
