In-Cloud DDoS Services
With the cost of bandwidth continuing to go down service providers are constantly seeking new market opportunities to deliver managed services. In such a competitive market the competition to increase revenue, enhance competitive differentiation and deliver value to customers is fierce. Given the proliferation of Internet-based DDoS (distributed denial of service) attacks, one major market opportunity lies in delivering in-cloud DDoS protection to enterprise customers who rely on the internet to run their business. These customers cannot afford to allow a DDoS attack to reach their networks and are rapidly realising that the best way to protect their business is by partnering with their service provider to detect and stop these threats where it counts, in the service provider cloud.
Imtech Telecom Global recommends the Arbor Peakflow SP solution, with it’s a powerful platform for deploying profitable in-cloud DDoS protection services for enterprise customers. The combination of Peakflow SP and Peakflow SP TMS (Threat Management System) devices allows a service provider to deploy a comprehensive threat detection, surgical mitigation and reporting solution.
Peakflow SP TMS is an application-intelligent device for multi-service converged networks that speeds remediation by coupling high-level threat identification with packet-level analysis. Peakflow SP TMS allows providers to detect network and application-layer attacks and surgically scrub only the attack traffic while allowing non-attack traffic.
Peakflow SP is designed to reduce the operational complexity and cost of a managed DDoS service. Key features include templates/APIs for customised portals, redundancy, ‘one-click’ auto-mitigation, customisable mitigation templates and insightful reports on mitigation and threat management. These features simplify the provisioning and operational support of the managed DDoS service, increasing profitability and customer satisfaction. A key component of Arbor-based managed services is the Peakflow SP Portal Interface (PI) device. This device enables providers to quickly scale these services to meet growing customer demand while reducing their cost and optimising their availability.
