Draytek Vigor ACS

Draytek Vigor ACS management is a cloud-based system for managing and monitoring Draytek routers, switches and access points. The system maintains two-way communication with the device and periodically records system information including traffic volumes and device connections. No user data is recorded so there are no GDPR implications.

Configuration backups

Modern equipment is very reliable but if a device fails then an efficient restoration of functionality will require a current configuration file. This file contains all the device setup including network settings, firewall rules and VPN settings. In the event of a hardware failure or the settings becoming corrupt, Atomik.biz can reprogram a replacement unit to the last backup.

Without a backup, the device needs to be programmed from scratch which will take longer and will usually require a site visit. The Draytek Vigor ACS system can do daily backups and typically keeps 20 days of backups.

Firmware updates

Firmware updates are released regularly for Draytek products which is one of the many benefits of using a premium product. These updates address security vulnerabilities as well as adding new features and fixing problems. Draytek Vigor ACS can be used to do scheduled firmware updates during non-business hours. Scheduling allows updates to be done at times when not only are users not working but online backups are not running, typically in the early hours. One great benefit of subscribing to our service is having regular updates done when it won’t affect business.

Costs

There is a monthly fee per device configured on Draytek Vigor ACS.
