Best Cisco Internet EDGE Router

[hgarcia@ndc-solutions.com]

Hi, 

We have a client who is looking for a new Internet EDGE Router. They are a bank with 500 employees and need 3 Wan ports for 3 differents ISP. What will be the best Cisco Router for them? Any Suggestions?

Many Thanks in Advance.

It all depends on feature and throuput you looking to handle:

check below router with compare :

If you looking higher level consider ASR

Unfortunately, your question is much like, you have a client company with 500 employees that deals with 3 different firms, what would be the best truck recommendation.

As @balaji.bandi already notes, it depends on feature and throughput needs, which "500 employees" tells us little, as does "3 Wan ports" (kind? bandwidth?), and as does "3 differents ISP" (dynamic routing with them?  FWs involved?).

As @balaji.bandi also notes, there's the 4K ISR (likely the minimum series you might consider) and the ASR series (likely the maximum series you might consider).  However, Cisco also has even smaller routers and larger router series, which might be used, again, depending on your feature and throughput needs.  It's also possible, if a separate FW will be used, possibly even a LAN L3 switch or Metro L3 switch might be used.
