Routers

In a well-designed IT infrastructure, a router isn't just a "box for the internet." It's a key element for security, throughput, and scalability – especially for companies that rely on the cloud, VoIP services, remote work, or inter-branch communication. The server routers you'll find at Hardware Direct are enterprise-grade equipment: featuring power redundancy, extensive interfaces, and support for VPN, MPLS, or SD-WAN protocols. From rack-mountable models to carrier-grade solutions for data centers and service providers – all are tested, ready for deployment, and covered by warranty. Plus, they are available off-the-shelf at prices up to 50% lower than the primary market.

If you're looking for equipment that will connect a distributed infrastructure and provide a secure tunnel between locations, the Cisco C2921-VSEC/K9 is one of the best choices on a budget up to 500 PLN. This is a 2U rack-mountable server router with RJ45/SFP ports, four EHWIC slots, and support for advanced Cisco Security features. It handles VPN encryption, traffic separation, remote management via DNA Center, and also includes a 950W power supply and Cisco SAFE compliance. It excels in administration, finance, education, and anywhere availability and security are paramount. Considered by many administrators as the gold standard in its class – and for good reason.

When a 99.999% SLA is crucial and availability matters more than price, only carrier-grade routers come into play. The Juniper MX5-T and MX80-T are machines designed for ISPs, data centers, and large multi-branch companies. They support up to 80 Gbps throughput, feature dual power supplies, the Junos OS operating system with native support for Segment Routing, SDN, and MPLS, as well as the option to expand to 8TB of flash memory. Server routers from this series represent top-tier infrastructure: zero compromises on availability, security, and development. Their deployment is an investment in the future of your network – especially where dozens of services are handled simultaneously.

Not all installations require large rack-mounted devices. If you manage a fleet of routers at end-customer premises or deploy VoIP in SMB environments, the Arris TG2492LG-VM will perform excellently. This CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) class device features 4x RJ45 ports, two FXS ports for analog telephony, and a DOCSIS 3.0 modem. It supports TR-069 autoconfiguration, which simplifies remote management – especially for cable operators and integrators. It might not be server-room equipment, but if you're looking for a simple, stable router that combines internet with telephony and can be easily integrated into an existing network – this is the model for you.

Regardless of whether you need a single VPN router for a small business or are configuring a core network with a server room and a 100 Gb/s link – at Hardware Direct, you'll find equipment that we've tested for performance, stability, and compatibility. We offer both carrier-grade server routers and smaller models for the SMB sector – all with a warranty, deployment support, and immediate availability. Thanks to off-lease sourcing, prices are up to 60% lower than for new equipment, and at the same time, you can be sure you're getting a professional solution that won't fail under the first heavy load. Looking for substance, not marketing hype? You'll find it here.
