3Com Corporation will add Web caching capabilities from Mangosoft into its OfficeConnect LAN Modem and router products to improve Internet access time.
Mangosoft is the developer of Cachelink software for Internet-connected PC systems. By combining the two solutions, 3Com and Mangosoft will accelerate Internet access without the cost of higher-speed Internet access.
Cachelink is a network software solution for PC desktop systems that speed access to commonly viewed Web pages and downloadable files. It improves Internet and Intranet performance by transparently linking the browser caches of computers on a company`s local network into a single large cache pool.
The result is significantly decreased Internet access time and increased available bandwidth.
"3Com`s OfficeConnect family of products creates a fast way for companies to set up economical, managed Internet access," says Henk van Eck, 3Com`s network consultant manager.
"We are now offering our customers an enhanced feature for their OfficeConnect networks to share access to the Web at a higher speed,"
"Customers without the resources to pay for cutting-edge access can now realise faster Web performance," he adds.
