Quick Eagle Networks Rolls Out New
4300 Access Router Series
Quick Eagle Networks Inc, a leading provider of intelligent WAN access
solutions, announced the newest addition to its product portfolio, the 4300
Access Router Series. Developed in response to specific customer needs, the
4300 line incorporates key features such as traffic prioritization and control
and access redundancy features, ensuring continued work in case of unexpected
service disruptions. The 4300 Series devices are multifunctional access
platforms, which combine routing capabilities with a number of additional
features not found in traditional router products.
"With more and more delay-sensitive business applications using IP, there
is
a
growing need to improve WAN bandwidth management at branch and remote office
locations," commented Alan Rice, senior vice president of sales and marketing
with Quick Eagle. "We developed the 4300 Series to exceed traditional 'best
effort' routing capabilities by managing and prioritizing critical traffic in
the most effective way possible. Squeezing every drop of performance from a
router and the broadband connection is vital, and our new series helps
administrators to keep their network costs minimized, while providing maximum
flexibility for growth."
In today's ultra-competitive marketplace, business success often depends on
the ability of the corporate network to provide continuous service, whether to
customers or to end users within the organization. With the "last mile" being
the most vulnerable point on the network, access redundancy is increasingly
important. Whether it is to duplicate T1/E1 access lines, or to take advantage
of DSL and cable modem broadband services to backup Frame Relay services with
IP-VPN tunnels, network access redundancy is no longer a luxury. The 4300
Access Router Series directly addresses each of these concerns with flexible
redundancy capabilities.
"Our new 4300 Access Routers are multifunctional access devices designed to
provide CIOs and network managers with the reassurance of a cost-effective,
scalable solution for 'last mile' network access redundancy," continued Rice.
"The devices feature two T1/E1 ports, two Ethernet ports, DiffServ-compliant
QoS, and software-based bandwidth upgrades. Essentially, the 4300 Series
routers are consolidated access devices for branch offices that combine
CSU/DSU, bandwidth shaping, network monitoring and high quality routing."
The 4300 series of routers is fully compatible with all current industry
standards and protocols, including PPP, PPPoE, Frame Relay, Multilink Frame
Relay, Multilink PPP, and MAC Bridging. With the 4300 Series, branch offices
can be connected cost-effectively over leased lines, the Internet, IP-VPN, or
corporate Frame Relay networks. DiffServ QoS marks traffic for the growing
number of MPLS-enabled networks, assuring that the 4300 Series adds value to
the network now, and into the future.
Quick Eagle's innovative hardware and software-based 4300 router solution
allows for better and more reliable throughput performance than traditional
routers. The full integration of software infrastructure enables
administrators to perform remote and easy network configuration and
administration, eliminating costly truck rolls and saving valuable IT
resources. The products can be configured and managed through Telnet, CLI, and
SNMP, making the solution one of the most versatile, compatible and practical
solutions for today's enterprises.
