Madera, California Switches to Open Source

Cisco, Linux Wins, US Govt Add comments

IT Manager Paul Wheeler has successfully replaced the city’s Cisco gear with 2 Vyatta Inc Routers that run Debian Linux.

In a more dramatic money-saving move, the city did a complete network upgrade to implement a voice-over-IP system based on Asterisk, an open-source PBX system from Digium Inc. in Huntsville, Ala. The Asterisk VoIP system cost about $120,000, whereas a Cisco system would have run about $400,000, he said.

A good switch over story, anyone in the Government should spend a few minutes reading the entire story.
