Arbor strengthens network intelligence solution

DUBAI, UAE: Arbor Networks Inc., a leading provider of DDoS and advanced threat protection solutions for enterprise and service provider networks, announced major scalability and performance improvements as well as the introduction of "Flex Licensing" options to Peakflow SP, the de facto standard for network intelligence and infrastructure availability.

Arbor Networks president, Colin Doherty, said: "With the Peakflow SP 6.0 release, we're giving customers greater performance, scalability and the flexibility they require to see, understand and secure large, distributed and complex network environments. For example, for the first time, customers have the option to deploy the Peakflow SP solution on Arbor hardware, virtual machines or both.

"Plus, major improvements in performance, scalability, along with new Flex Licensing will allow our customers to cost effectively deploy the Peakflow SP solution pervasively across their network -from the peering/transit edge, to the core backbone, to the customer edge - vastly improving their traffic visibility and advanced threat protection."

"Arbor has been a key player in the service provider market for a decade, largely due to the success of the Peakflow SP platform. This release shows why Arbor has been able to maintain a leadership position for so long. They have never stopped innovating or listening to their customers," said Jeff Wilson, principal analyst with Infonetics Research.
