The Vigor3900 Central site VPN gateway is an enterprise-level VPN concentrator providing security and cost savings benefits for business through flexible, reliable, and high-performance LAN-to-LAN and remote-access solutions. The Vigor3900 not only offers hundreds of VPN tunnels compatible with multiple VPN protocols, such as PPTP/L2TP/IPsec/L2TP over IPSec to satisfy LAN-to-LAN and remote secure communication needs, but also provides SSL VPN connectivity to better facilitate remote users to access corporate databases.
With Gigabit Ethernet LAN/WAN and active fibre interfaces, Vigor3900 offers unprecedented data transmission speed for mission-critical applications and does load-balancing for WAN and VPN failover to enhance performance, redundancy and reliability of business operations.
"DrayTek's Vigor3900 is a replacement for the popular Vigor3300 and is a highly secure but flexible network for the multi-site business operations that still allows retention of ultimate control of the system by corporate HQ," commented Bradley Love, Managing Director of Network Platforms. "The Vigor3900 supports up to 50 WAN connections; has five physical WAN ports, each of which comprise four Ethernet and one SFP Fibre port; and supports 500 VPN connections.
"In addition, the Vigor3900 offers high availability by Common Address Redundancy Protocol (CARP), thus providing a reliable network for business operation even during a system downturn," continued Love. "Network administrators can configure another Vigor3900 as the passive standby backup device in case of failure of the main Vigor3900 and can enable reciprocal backup functionality for multiple active Vigor3900s that includes load balancing configuration and user-definable backup priorities.
"The Vigor3900, embedded with an easy-to-use user interface, shortens administrators' learning curve to adopt its management mechanism to control CO side network and hundreds of VPN connections at remote sites," said Love. "By the easy-to-use user interface, business doesn't need to allocate the highly experienced technician as the administrator and can save training cost/time for recruiting new hire. Besides, Vigor3900, compliant with TR-069 protocol, can be managed by the VigorACS SI centralised management system."
