The Only Enterprise Data Center Security Product Focused on Stopping Availability Threats
The Pravail Availability Protection System (APS) focuses exclusively on stopping availability threats such as DDoS. Data center operators can deploy Pravail APS in front of services to stop application-layer attacks and disrupt botnet communications. They can also integrate Pravail APS upstream with their providers' DDoS protection services to stop volumetric DDoS attacks.

With Pravail APS, your data center can gain the power to:

• Detect and block emerging application-layer DDoS attacks.
• Deploy a turnkey solution to stop threats immediately.
• Accelerate responses to DDoS attacks to prevent legitimate services from going down.
• Prevent illegitimate botnet communications by leveraging real-time security intelligence from Arbor’s Active Threat Level Analysis System (ATLAS).
• Mitigate volumetric attacks by coordinating with Cloud-Signaling enabled providers.

The Critical Need to Ensure Application Availability
As data center consolidation and cloud computing adoption accelerate, availability becomes absolutely critical. If services such as Web, DNS, SMTP, and others are not available, all other issues are irrelevant.

Pravail APS is the only premise-based security product focused on availability threats—providing threat protection from 1 Gbps to beyond 10 Gbps. After a simple and no-effort installation, the appliance immediately blocks availability threats. Through the intelligence in Arbor’s unique ATLAS system, Pravail can also stop the most complicated DDoS attacks, including application-layer attacks.

Immediate ‘Out-of-Box’ Threat Protection
When data centers are under attack, they need security solutions that can be deployed quickly and effortlessly. Pravail APS is easy to install and provides immediate protection from most threats. Security and networking personnel will appreciate the streamlined configuration process and simple user interface. When critical services are down, Pravail APS is built to bring them back online—fast.

Stop Emerging Botnet and Application-Layer Attacks
By integrating the new ATLAS Intelligence Feed, Pravail APS can detect and stop the ever-changing array of emerging DDoS threats. The threat feed is constantly updated in real time – without any interruptive software updates – to address dynamic threats such as botnets. The threat feed also utilizes application-layer analysis to stop complex application-layer attacks. The Arbor Security Engineering & Response Team (ASERT) verifies every threat feed update to ensure customers can trust the quality of the feed.

Automated and Advanced DDoS Mitigation
Data center operators often do not know they are under attack until service availability is affected. To avoid costly downtime, data centers require solutions that automatically detect and prevent DDoS attacks with little or no user interaction. The solution must also offer simple techniques to speed resolution when attacks cannot be readily identified and mitigated. Data centers can trust Pravail APS to quickly stop DDoS attacks, and Pravail’s intuitive user interface makes threat mitigation a snap.

Gain Both On-Premise and Cloud Protection
To ensure 100% availability, enterprises need a DDoS solution that provides both cloud and on-premise protection. By leveraging the communication between the on-premise Pravail APS appliance and the cloud-based Peakflow SP solution, data centers can shorten the time to resolution for DDoS attacks.

Real-Time and Historical Attack Forensics and Reporting
Pravail APS offers detailed attack reports in real time so operators can visually understand the actions taken by the appliance. Besides documenting these actions in audit logs, Pravail APS provides forensic reports detailing blocked hosts, origin countries of attacks and historical trends.
