Controlling and Protecting
Equipment Investments
Equipment cost is a major concern in the deploy-ment of branch office
networks that may contain tens or hundreds of routers. Seemingly small
differences in purchase price can represent large savings as networks grow.
Warranty is another important source for reducing costs. Longer warranty
periods delay the need for hardware support agreementsan important
source of cost savings as the network is starting up.
A Broad Range of Cost-Effective Solutions
From the introduction of the Router ER (HP’s first router), HP has led the
initiative to reduce the cost of routing platforms. Branch solutions such as
the HP Router PR start at $2395 ranging to the newly announced high-end
HP Router 650 with an entry level configuration priced at $12,000.
The HP Router 650 extends HP’s family of routers to address the specific
requirements of a headquarters central office. Designed to offer the highest
performance in its price class, this new system delivers performance
comparable to other high-end products that cost two to three times more.
