Warranty
HP provides a full 3-year warranty on all router products–the longest
warranty in the industry. Besides lowering equipment costs, this is also a
statement about the quality of HP's router products and their ability to
perform year after year.
Future Directions
HP is working to make branch office routing even more cost effective, and
easier to implement and manage. Capabilities expanded to draw more
performance out of the WAN will include:
Additional compression algorithms optimized for specific link types
including packet switched networks.
More traffic control and management features to improve
application access to WAN resources.
New WAN traffic planning and analysis tools.
To help control and contain the administrative costs associated with
implementing and managing branch networks, HP is developing:
Instant-On installation for routers in packet switched environments.
New management tools that will both speed the design and imple-
mentation of router-based networks as well as simplify on-going
management. New features will include graphical network design,
configuration validation, and centralized configuration and software
distribution.
