Abstract

In various embodiments, systems and methods of managing server connections are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system automatically maintains a plurality of client connections associated with a plurality of clients, where the plurality of client connections includes both active and idle connections. A first server receives a request from a client of the plurality of clients to access a second server of a plurality of second servers communicatively coupled to the first server, where the plurality of second servers have varying communication protocols. The first server then identifies a first communication protocol associated with the second server and activates a link between the first server and the second server using the first communication protocol. Other systems and methods are disclosed.
