The software used by the comBOX network appliance and comBOX network server is responsible for management of data distribution to individual Internet connections.

Besides basic multi-WAN routing (basic failover and load-balancing), the other features of comBOX services are performed using advanced technologies incorporated in the comBOX software on a modular basis. This allows services to be customised to meet individual business's precise corporate network needs.

• Virtual Leased Line technology

  Virtual Leased Line technology solves the problem of obtaining a single high-speed and reliable connection without the cost of leased lines from ISPs. It is the main element in service bundles comBOX VLL and comBOX VPN, that combines the individual connections (DSL / 3G) into a virtual leased line.

  Using the comBOX network server and specialised systems for Bandwidth Aggregation, Data Compression, Smart Failover and Secure Networking, Virtual Leased Line technology ensures the quality of the virtual leased line.

• Packet-Loss Management

  Very often the quality of DSL/3G connections fluctuates as a result of data packet loss. To manage such situations, comBOX services' Packet-Loss Management system utilises special algorithms used in satellite communications. This provides Transparent Performance Enhancing Proxy (PEP) and TCP acceleration functions, incorporates the TCP-Hybla protocol and ensures fast and uninterrupted data flow.

• Bandwidth Management

  Many realtime applications require the prioritising of a specific type of data traffic, in order to achieve constant speeds without interruptions, when there is simultaneous traffic of other types to and from the Internet. Priority setting as well as definition of bandwidth available for each type of data (QoS, traffic shaping and prioritisation, maximum and guaranteed bandwidth) is undertaken by the Bandwidth Management system, which manages the flow of data and allows for better performing Streaming Media Services (VoIP centers, Video-Conferences, WebTV, Internet Radio Broadcasting, Surveillance Platforms, E-Learning platforms) and the control of speed per application/user.

• High Availability Clustering

  The High Availability Clustering prevents downtime due to hardware problems. Its use allows for the smooth running of comBOX services in case of hardware failure through the management of reserve comBOX network appliances which are automatically enabled when needed (redundancy). The integration of the High Availability Clustering system in Virtual Leased Line technology also includes the cloud-infrastructure based comBOX network server.

• Advanced Firewall

  The Advanced Firewall system enables access to and from the corporate network to be controlled. It filters all data flowing through the comBOX network appliance and can be customised to provide specialised data routing and enhanced protection of the corporate network from malicious cyber attacks. Its activation is particularly important where there are in-house hosting services and/or Virtual Private Networks.

• Web Proxy

  The Web Proxy system integrates HTTP Proxy functions into comBOX services. It analyses HTTP traffic to and from the Internet and provides access options depending on the user or the address and content of Web pages (content filtering).

• Virtual Private Networking

  Remote access to a internal corporate network is achieved via VPN which exploits multiple DSL or 3G connections to provide high speed and reliable data traffic that is encrypted using AES 256-bit algorithm for enhanced security. Virtual Private Networking is commonly used to connect branches with the comBOX VPN service bundle, which works like a point-to-point virtual leased line.

• Reporting System

  You can have at your disposal information about the use of comBOX services and the status of individual lines and therefore measure their benefits for your corporate network. The Reporting system monitors the status of comBOX services, each Internet connection (speed, uptime, packet loss), data traffic and volume, and provides reports which help customise comBOX service components and supervise the corporate network.

• Integrated Media Streaming

  Generally the transmission of multimedia streams to multiple recipients requires a Streaming Server whose use and customisation have traditionally been not only expensive but also involved time consuming procedures. Now with Integrated Media Streaming these features can be integrated with comBOX services for improved performance and minimised use and customisation costs. Streaming is done with the help of the comBOX network server which is in constant communication with the comBOX network appliance at the production site, receiving the stream and then relaying it to the final recipients. comBOX services Integrated Media Streaming is used in applications for WebTV and internet radio broadcasting and significantly improves transmission quality.
