When it comes time to upgrade your networking equipment, you're doing more than just maintaining your network. You're making an investment in it, and in your company's future.
Ten years ago, your network might have been seen as a secondary consideration; a convenience. Today, however, your communications network and the connections it brings you are an absolutely vital part of your business. You need all of your employees wired in and ready to shift whenever the market changes. More than that, it needs to be equipment that will last, and grow alongside your business.
The ADTRAN Netvanta 3200 is a fine choice if you're looking to upgrade your network with a router that's cost-effective, while still giving you the security you need. Let's take a look at three of the best features of the 3200 and why it may be the right choice for the future of your network.
Three Reasons The ADTRAN Netvanta 3200 Makes Sense For Your Business
I. Great security: One thing that's become clear as the years pass is that network security is something you cannot afford to ignore. Data intrusion and other hack attacks have been rising exponentially in recent years, and a single breach of your network security could cost your company millions, or even billions.
The ADTRAN 3200 features industry-leading security features, featuring a smart firewall that actively monitors your network for intrusions. With the capability to automatically detect password breaks, distributed denial of service attacks, IP flooding, and pings of death (yes, that's a thing), ADTRAN's security will ensure intruders stay out without inhibiting your employee's workflow.
II. Staying power: Like we said above, new networking equipment like the Adtran 3200 is an investment. You
need it to last. To begin with, ADTRAN offers a full ten-year warranty that will protect your money. With support for two concurrent T1 connections, you've also got room to grow when it comes time to expand your bandwidth and broaden your software offerings.
Further, because all ADTRAN products are tied together through the AOS operating system, the 3200 doesn't have to be replaced any time soon. Even if you need to buy a new ADTRAN router, the Netvanta can simply shift to an auxiliary role. AOS can use every device on your network and find the best role for it.
III. ADTRAN Outperforms Cisco: According to this report from the Tolly Group, the Netvanta 3200 outperforms Cisco's comparable offering, the 1720/1715v, in several areas. It beat the 1720 by 54% in 64-bit bidirectional firewall throughput tests, as well as meeting or beating Cisco in several other areas including network latency and overall latency. Even better, if you do still have Cisco networking equipment in your setup, the 3200 was found to be completely inter-operable with their products, maintaining the same high quality performance.
And it does this despite being almost half the cost of Cisco's offerings!
ADTRAN is a relatively new company on the networking scene, but they've been swiftly building a reputation as one of the best investments a company can make. With a low price, a long lifespan, and everything you need to ensure it stays with your network for years to come, the ADTRAN Netvanta 3200 will prove itself to be well worth your company's money.
