Today, StillSecure is announcing our open source UNP product, Cobia(tm). The press release is available here. Visit the Cobia site to learn more and download the Cobia software at http://cobia.stillsecure.com.

The following is the product description of Cobia:

Cobia™ Unified Network Platform™ is a modular, open source software platform for networking and security in SMB and enterprise remote office networks. Overcoming the limitations and upgrade hassles of traditional fixed-appliances, Cobia offers greater flexibility through its plug-n-play software modules, operates on off-the-shelf Intel/AMD hardware, and brings virtualization capabilities to networking and security. The Cobia software is comprised of a base software platform with routing, firewall, DHCP and other modules that are installed when and where needed within the network. Cobia runs as a dedicated device or as a VMware virtual appliance on Intel/AMD servers, computers and hardware appliances.

Cobia is a next generation open source product, offered under a dual-use license structure. The community license includes Cobia source code and allows organizations to use Cobia for free as part of their business or personal network infrastructure. Commercial licensing is available for those who bundle Cobia with hardware, integrate Cobia as part of their product or service, or create products utilizing Cobia. StillSecure will be offering commercial support (email, phone and 24x7) and commercial paid-for Cobia modules and products in the near future. Cobia partner and channel programs are available for resellers, integrators, hardware providers and ISVs. Currently in beta, Cobia software download, forum-based support, source code and licensing information are available at http://cobia.stillsecure.com.
