Summary · why it matters

VyOS Networks announced that Spicer Group, a US-based engineering and professional services firm, has replaced its Cisco-based networking stack with VyOS to modernize branch networking across its distributed operations. Spicer Group, which employs 380 people across 16 offices, now runs VyOS on bare-metal x86 white-box hardware to support routing across 13 branch sites connected via EPLAN circuits. The migration, led by Network Administrator Michael Doan, who had prior experience with VyOS, was driven by rising Cisco licensing costs, limited flexibility for Linux-style scripting, and vendor lock-in. The deployment uses OSPF dynamic routing and a CLI-first model with full Linux access, and has scaled to 13 sites without architectural redesign. Spicer Group is now evaluating VyOS 1.5 and Vector Packet Processing for higher throughput and future cloud deployments, with an upgrade to VyOS 1.5 planned.
