High End Router Frank Lister
Netgear Nighthawk • Physical link rates @ 1300 mbps on 5GHz • Offers downstream Quality of Service • Better parental control features • USB Support • Printer • Hard Drive • Video • Music • PC Backups • About $200
Branch-Office Challenges • Congested WAN bandwidth • Potential security risks and compliance failures • Poor user experience • Complex remote-office management • Slow response to business needs
Solution Components and Benefits • Transport Independent • Intelligent Path Control • Application Optimization • Secure Connectivity
Transport independent • Gives provider flexibility to lower costs: IWAN allows IT to move to less-expensive Internet transport options without compromising security, reliability or performance. Through IP Security (IPsec) VPN technologies, IT can transparently distribute branch-office traffic over multiple transport options , including MPLS, cellular and Internet WANs, and still maintain one routing domain for IT simplicity.
Intelligent path control • Maximize your WAN usage to increase ROI (return on investment): IWAN helps IT take full advantage of its WAN investments and avoid oversubscription of lines. Through intelligent path selection, applications are sent over the best performing paths based on policy and real-time path status. Now the growth of new cloud traffic, guest services, and video can be easily load balanced across multiple lines.
Application optimization • Deliver an application-aware network for optimized performance: IWAN gives IT full visibility and control at the application level through Application Visibility and Control (AVC) such as Network-Based Application Recognition (NBAR), NetFlow, quality of service (QoS), and more. AVC allows IT to determine what traffic is running across the network, tune the network for business-critical services, and quickly resolve network problems.
Secure connectivity • With IWAN, IT can simplify VPN connections across all sites to deliver high performance with high security using Dynamic Multipoint VPN (DMVPN). It can also enable direct Internet access using Cloud Web Security (CWS) for better SaaS (software as a service) application performance, while protecting all branch-office endpoints and maintaining a centralized infosec (information security) policy management paradigm.
