Manageability

You need to reduce your site-visits to drive down support costs. The ENPAQ has a great set of remote manageability features tailored to give you complete remote access of your store PCs, and complete control of network usage at the branch. You can even use the ENPAQ to schedule batch jobs, or to backup data from the stores making your IT even more robust.

Availability

Dealing with ISP downtime is tough. The ENPAQ can use broadband or even a 3G or CDMA modem as a backup connection. Allow only your ERP software to connect on the backup link, letting your stores communicate even if your primary link is down. With a built-in VPN client, there's no need to go for expensive MPLS at your stores - broadband will do the job just as well.

Security

If your stores are exposed to the Internet, you definitely need protection. The ENPAQ has a gateway Anti-Virus, Anti-Malware, and Anti-Spyware, to reduce the threat of infections on your PCs. The ENPAQ can also be configured to allow network access only according to your Internet usage policy - preventing your store or branch users from mis-using the Internet.

Performance
