Advanced DDoS Threat Mitigation

The Arbor Peakflow SP Threat Management System (TMS) is a vital component of the Peakflow SP solution. Peakflow SP TMS brings a full suite of sophisticated and adaptive DDoS countermeasures which surgically remove attack traffic while enabling the flow of legitimate traffic. Peakflow SP TMS is proven effective in the most demanding networks for detecting and removing high volume flood attacks, stealthy application level attacks and blended attacks. Peakflow SP TMS protects both IPv4 and IPv6 infrastructure from DDoS attacks.

Peakflow SP TMS can protect networks via in-line deployment and in diversion/reinjection mode. This flexible and non-intrusive deployment architecture is highly efficient and ideally suited for in cloud deployment and managed services. Peakflow SP TMS automatically detects and surgically removes up to 40 Gbps of attack traffic from a single appliance. The scalable architecture enables up to 2TB of mitigation capacity in a single deployment.

Superior Performance and Extensibility

Arbor offers a choice of Peakflow SP TMS models to meet diverse deployment needs. Peakflow SP TMS removes DDoS attack traffic, provides visibility into application performance and generates flow for enhanced network wide visibility.

Service Visibility, Performance and Protection

To your subscribers, the network is as good as the applications or IP services that run on it. The diversity of customer applications ranging from triple-play services (e.g., data, voice and video) to Over the Top (OTT) applications (e.g., IM, Skype and YouTube) makes service optimization even more challenging. The Arbor Peakflow SP solution offers an industry-unique combination of pervasive network visibility and deep application-layer insight. This provides a level of application intelligence that allows you to fine-tune your visibility and security of business-critical IP services.

• Service Visibility: Gain complete visibility into the applications that are traversing critical segments of your network. Peakflow SP TMS automatically identifies over 90 IP-based applications and defines custom applications based upon network attributes such as IP address or range, BGP attributes, router interfaces and Active Threat Feed fingerprints.
• Performance: Peakflow SP TMS also monitors key performance statistics such as jitter, latency, network round-trip times, delay and packet loss to help ensure that services are running as optimally as possible. Peakflow SP then uses this data generated by Peakflow SP TMS to provide reporting and alerting when significant performance change occurs.
• Protection: The size and complexity of application-layer attacks continues to rise. Peakflow SP TMS  automatically detects and surgically mitigates these threats. Building on the core Peakflow SP technology to deliver carrier-class protection for zero-day threats, Peakflow SP TMS  stops Denial of Service/DDoS attacks and protect critical revenue-generating services. For example, Peakflow SP TMS specializes in stopping HTTP, VoIP and DNS service attacks. It can also thwart non-malicious threats such as a flash crowd event by automatically recognizing such anomalies and rate-limiting traffic to keep the service up and running.

Peakflow SP TMS is a carrier-class, industry-unique network monitoring system solution that provides a rapid ROI. It delivers a powerful combination of visibility, performance and service protection—allowing you to maintain availability, reduce support costs and optimize current or future business services.
