Struggling to keep your grip on all the network devices in your businesses? Sick of wasting time manually applying important firmware upgrades? Bored of logging in to each router individually to apply VPN settings? A lack of router configuration backups keeping you up a night? DrayTek’s Vigor ACS 2 solves all these problems!<br><br>
Once your businesses network equipment gets into double digits (e.g: modems and routers in remote branches, stores or offices around the country or even around the world), manually managing them is difficult, time consuming and prone to mistakes. Software updates don’t get applied in time, leaving your business vulnerable to hackers. VPN misconfigurations result in frustrated users and downtime. Not having a backup of each device’s configuration will mean lengthy restore times and man hours to get business operation again.
By utilising VigorACS 2 in your business, all your network devices like routers, switches and wireless access points can be managed centrally, from a single desk, over the Internet. Backups of each device are taken automatically, software updates to routers and access points can be installed automatically, if something goes wrong with a device, administrators can be contacted.
VigorACS 2 makes installing new devices a snap. Instead of having to send an expensive technician out to a remote site to configure it, just have someone plug the device in to the network and the auto provisioning feature does the rest. Once the device is on the network, it will receive pre-configured data such as IP, PPPoE, VoIP parameters, etc. from the ACS server.

By using a central management system like VigorACS 2, not only do you save time and improve reliability, but you also save money. For example, if you had to upgrade the firmware of 20 devices on-site and it took 10 minutes to do each one, that’s 3 hours and 20 minutes of labour. Using VigorACS 2, that update only takes 15 seconds per device – only 5 minutes in total. If your IT administrator’s rate is $150 per hour, you’d be saving $488 each time there’s a firmware update. The cost savings are even greater if your business has 500 devices, where the money saved can be in the tens of thousands of dollars.
