MidPoint connects all networked users via a single shared connection to the Internet.
According to the company, MidPoint 5.0 has been enhanced with an improved firewall and an ability to run with one or multiple types of communications connections including DSL, analog, cable, T1, E1, and others. MidPoint says that the software's firewall will guard all network resources against unwanted access from the Internet, and give customers complete control over which internal applications can get out to the Internet and which applications, if any, can access the network from the Internet. MidPoint's Broadband Line Teaming feature should allow broadband lines to seamlessly back up traditional T1 lines at a fraction of the usual cost. MidPoint will be designed to intelligently manage traffic from a T1 and other routers so that no changes are required to a user's existing T1 or router configurations. Also, security for the VPN is two-tiered, and user authentication makes use of industry standard protocols to prevent unauthorized access to the corporate network.
