Protonyx Data Services presents its innovative comBOX suite of subscription services which can upgrade your internet connection to professional standars.

Business grade broadband services in Greece leave a lot to be desired in terms of cost-effectiveness although demand is constantly rising following the worldwide trend. Protonyx Data Services has developed the comBOX services suite in order to give businesses a chance to keep up with that trend. Using low-cost network resources (eg ADSL), comBOX services can satisfy the most demanding applications by providing reliable high-speed Internet connections. This way, more businesses can gain access to professional quality connections and a competitive alternative to the expensive traditional leased lines emerges, at a fraction of their cost.

comBOX services combine multiple heterogeneous Internet connections (eg ADSL, SDSL, VDSL, 3G, VSAT etc) to achieve increased availability and performance characteristics. As all comBOX services are fully Managed, the technical department of Protonyx Data Services takes all the responsibilities of installing and administering the services throughout their duration. Consequently, the final user will never need to intervene and no special networking skills are required.

The availability of conventional Internet connections is the only requirement for the deployment of comBOX services. No extra agreement or configuration is necessary in ISP data centers (DSLAMs). Actually Protonyx Data Services suggests using multiple ISPs in order to minimize the possibility of downtime due to maintenance/upgrade of an individual ISP's network. In the case of such events, comBOX services detect and isolate the non-responsive connections and keep on using the functional ones.

In order to deploy comBOX services, it is necessary to use the comBOX equipment. comBOX is an advanced networking device specifically designed to provide multi-wan routing, load-balancing and failover functionality. comBOX is placed transparently between the Local Area Network and the multiple ADSL modem/routers, requiring no additional changes to the existing network infrastructure. Moreover, its basic functionality is upgradable so as to provide a range of additional services such as firewall, VPN, Layer 7 filtering, http Proxy, QoS and traffic shaping.

comBOX services are diversified in order to cover most Internet use cases and minimize the cost of functionalities that are not required. They all use the same equipment, so migrating from one service to another is swift and inexpensive.

The services offered are summarized as follows:
