San Diego, California - (The Hosting News) - March 24, 2008 - Secure service control solution provider for global business networks, Arbor Networks, has been selected by hosting, messaging, storage, DDoS protection and Internet service firm, Foreshore, for its Arbor Peakflow SP platform (''Peakflow SP'').
Designed for network-wide anomaly detection and mitigation, the platform was developed to optimise critical business services for customers, in a cost-effective manner.
Derek Fage, Technical Director at Foreshore noted, ''By providing intelligent visibility into our network traffic, Peakflow SP gives us three major benefits. First, the system instantly alerts us to anomalous network activity so we can address security threats and maintain the highest quality of service. Second, it provides detailed information about suspect and attack traffic so we can conduct meaningful forensics. And third, by providing insight into where traffic is coming from, it enables more accurate traffic engineering, network planning and peering analysis - all of which helps reduce our costs and optimise our services.''
Since its inception in 2000, Foreshore's non-stop network infrastructure is meeting the rigorous 24/7 operational requirements of international banks, major e-retailers and electronic payment providers. In an era of global network security threats that are ever-increasing in size and frequency, DDoS detection and mitigation are critical to Foreshore's continued success - and that of its customers.
Peakflow SP is delivering the pervasive network visibility, deep application insight and comprehensive threat management Foreshore needs to surgically mitigate and report on DDoS and zero-day threats before they impact critical business services. Foreshore is also using Peakflow SP for traffic engineering to improve network performance and to deliver revenue generating managed DDoS detection and mitigation services to customers.
Rob Malan, Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of Arbor Networks remarked, ''Peakflow SP is a platform that delivers a number of benefits beyond network security. Foreshore is leveraging the broad functionality of Peakflow SP to improve network-wide visibility, security, traffic engineering and to potentially deliver managed DDoS protection services to their customers.''
