Do you already have enough bandwidth? We didn't think so. Let us give you more with Connection Teaming. Combine as many modems as you like with any other connection type, and you'll never look back!

	Team connections – Increase throughput by using all your available bandwidth.
	Multiple connections, any type – Use any available connection, regardless of what type. Mix and match modem, ISDN, Cable modem...
	Combine Different ISP Connections – Use more than one ISP for optimal availability of service.
	Additional connections open on demand – Bandwidth becomes available as required, optimizing connection resources.
	You decide the order of connection – Maintain control over bandwidth allocation.
	Specify mail and news traffic destinations – Default connection for Mail and News traffic.

Benefit:
Increase throughput by using all your available bandwidth.

Description:
Usually, when a LAN is connected to the Internet it uses a single connection which may be via modem, ISDN, DSL, cable modem or even T1. Now Vicomsoft's new connection teaming server allows you to simultaneously use more than one connection. For example, if you have two or more modems and telephone lines, you can use them all! This dramatically increases your bandwidth to the Internet and speeds browsing. The number of simultaneous connections is limited only by your hardware.

If you want to know more about Connection teaming, see the Vicomsoft KnowledgeShare document on Bandwidth Aggregation and Connection Teaming.

Benefit:
Use any available connection, regardless of what type.

Description:
Vicomsoft's Connection Teaming Server lets you combine different types of connections. Combine not only analog modem connections, but mix and match modems, DSL, cable modems or other connection methods. Whatever type of connections you have, Vicomsoft's Connection Teaming Server allows you to benefit from them.

Benefit:
Use more than one ISP (Internet Service Provider) for optimal availability of service.

Description:
Unlike Multilink PPP, Vicomsoft's Connection Teaming Server does not require a compliant ISP. Each connection opened by the server uses standard PPP supported by the vast majority of Internet service providers. By combining connections to more than one ISP, you minimize the risk of being completely disconnected from the Internet. Interruptions in service often happen at the ISP level. If one ISP is momentarily "off the air", your other connections will remain operational. Your users may not even notice.

Benefit:
Bandwidth becomes available as required, optimizing connection resources.

Description:
Many telephone lines are multipurpose, being used for Internet connectivity as well as for fax or voice. In some cases, depending on the type of connection, and geographical region, connection time may be charged by the minute. In such cases, maintaining multiple open connections when demand for bandwidth is low would make inefficient use of resources. Vicomsoft's Connection Teaming Server allows you to define the threshold at which additional connections are opened and closed. For example you may set Connection Teaming to open a second connection whenever the first is utilised to 80% of capacity. When not needed, the second connection would close, freeing communications resources for other use, and in some cases saving money. Multiple connections may be linked this way, opening and closing as demand for bandwidth fluctuates.

Benefit:
Maintain control over bandwidth allocation.

Description:
The Connection Teaming Server's friendly graphical interface allows you to drag each connection up or down a connection priority list. Connections are opened in order of priority. This means that you have complete control over bandwidth allocation.

Benefit:
Ensure that mail and news traffic is routed to the correct server.

Description:
E-mail is sent through an SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server. Most ISPs do not allow mail to be sent through SMTP servers from outside their own domain. If you use Vicomsoft's Connection Teaming Server to accumulate bandwidth from more than one ISP, it will ensure that all email messages are sent through the correct connection to the correct SMTP server. It does this for NNTP (News) messages as well. The result is trouble-free use, and less manual intervention.
