Arbor Networks has announced the Arbor Pravail Availability Protection System (APS) appliances, a new product family focused on securing the Internet data center (IDC) edge from threats against availability- specifically, protection against application-layer distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks.
Colin Doherty, President, Arbor Networks said, "We are very pleased to announce the availability of the Pravial APS for our Indian customers. For more than a decade, Arbor Networks has developed innovative, market-leading DDoS detection and mitigation solutions that are deployed in the vast majority of the world's largest and most valuable service provider networks. Arbor has leveraged this experience to create the Arbor Pravail APS, bringing carrier-class DDoS detection and mitigation capabilities to the data center."
Rob Ayoub, Global Program Director, Network Security, Frost & Sullivan said, "In recent months, high profile attacks and outages have gotten the attention of C-level executives. If your data center is not available, all the compliance or data integrity in the world is not going to help your customers, business or your brand. Arbor is addressing the number one threat to the availability of data center resources and that is the increasing prevalence and effectiveness of application-layer denial of service attacks that target infrastructure, and potentially, existing security devices themselves."
