VigorACS 3 is the latest update of DrayTek’s Network Management System (NMS). It supports all current DrayTek routers, access points, and switches, providing an integrated platform for configuration, monitoring, and management. VigorACS 3 is also the core of the DrayTek SD-WAN solution. It is the central software where Network Administrator can perform configuration, provisioning, and monitoring to the edge routers. With the support of server load balancing/failover, VigorACS 3 meets most of the ISP/Enterprise requirements of server SLA and resilience and is ideal for hosting both public/private cloud management services.

SD-WAN Orchestrator

Quality-Driven Dashboard: The quality of every WAN/VPN interface is measured by latency, loss, and jitter. A quality-driven dashboard helps Network administrators to understand the reliability of the interfaces at one glance.

VoIP MOS and SLA: Every VoIP call is also monitored by MOS, latency, loss, and jitter. With a call history list, Network Administrator can easily retrieve information for calls with poor quality.

VoIP Experience Optimization: Based on the interface quality records, VigorACS 3 can adjust the metric to make sure all edge routers always use the best-quality interface for VoIP to optimize the VoIP experiences.

Application Visibility and SD-WAN Policy: The application visibility lets Network Administrator understand the data usage. From every single client, via which WAN, to which application, at what time.

Based on the application visibility, Network Administrator can create SD-WAN policies to send business-critical applications through the best-quality interface to optimize the user experience.

Client Management with Captive Portal

VigorACS 3 as Captive Portal Server: Many of the Vigor Router and VigorAP models support captive portal functions, that they can redirect LAN clients to VigorACS 3 to go through the hotspot login process. This function is ideal for retail, restaurants, coffee shops, and hospitality to do Wi-Fi marketing and learn more about their clients for future marketing campaigns.
