Faced with today’s escalating, multi-gigabit security attacks, you need the broadest possible view of network traffic to ensure the availability and performance of your networking infrastructure. With the Arbor Peakflow SP Flow Sensor (FS) device, you can expand your Peakflow SP deployment beyond the peering edge and backbone – and gain a holistic view of network traffic clear to the customer edge. This unprecedented, edge-to-edge visibility enables you to defend your network against internal and external threats, improve traffic engineering and launch new customer edge-based managed services.

Network-Wide Security to the Customer Edge
By providing a clear view of customer-to-customer traffic, the Arbor Peakflow SP FS device extends network security to the customer edge. As a result, you can proactively identify virulent internal security threats and mitigate the risk of customer-to-customer attacks.

Traffic Engineering and Capacity Planning at the POP Level
With the Arbor Peakflow SP FS device, you gain the network visibility needed to make sound traffic engineering decisions involving POP-to-POP matrices, customer-to-customer breakdowns, on-net analysis and capacity planning. Peakflow SP FS also delivers visibility into multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) VPN traffic at the POP level – providing an effective solution for capacity planning and troubleshooting.

Next-Generation Managed Services
The Arbor Peakflow SP FS device enables you to deliver new, revenue-generating managed services for customer edge-based distributed denial of service (DDoS) detection and IP-based MPLS VPN traffic visibility.

A Single, Cost-Effective Solution
The Arbor Peakflow SP FS device is part of the comprehensive Peakflow SP solution that provides pervasive network visibility and security in one integrated platform. Using a single console and interface, you gain a holistic view of network-wide performance. With its simple provisioning, Peakflow SP FS also reduces the operational costs and capital expenditures needed for edge-to-edge network visibility, while delivering unmatched price/performance advantages.
