Robust Platform Reduces Network Costs and Enables Delivery of Revenue-Generating Managed Services LEXINGTON, MA--(Marketwire - June 3, 2008) - Arbor Networks, a leading provider of secure service control solutions for global business networks, announced today that OpSource, the leader in Web operations, has deployed the Arbor Peakflow SP platform ("Peakflow SP") for network-wide anomaly detection and mitigation, application intelligence and as a revenue-generating managed services platform. OpSource is leveraging Peakflow SP to see what applications are running on its network, to profile application network behavior, and to detect and report on application traffic violations -- thereby reducing downtime and accelerating problem resolution. Only Peakflow SP combines pervasive, cost-effective visibility with deep application insight and analysis of critical network traffic, services and applications. Additionally, Peakflow SP is a strategic investment that enables OpSource to leverage the same solution used for infrastructure visibility and security to deliver new, differentiated, revenue-generating managed services and DDoS protection to its customers. "OpSource is using Peakflow SP as a platform for DDoS protection and traffic modeling. In today's highly competitive SaaS market, that is a combination that is hard to beat," said John Rowell, chief technology officer of OpSource. "Peakflow SP leverages IP flow data from existing infrastructure to help us to optimize services, reduce costs and get pervasive, cost-effective network and application visibility. We are also using Peakflow SP to deliver differentiated, in-cloud DDoS services to our customers. It is a very powerful platform." "Organizations that outsource Web application delivery to OpSource do so because of their reputation for quality services and performance," said Rob Malan, Arbor Networks co-founder and chief technology officer. "Peakflow SP is a very robust platform for cost-effective, pervasive and intelligent visibility into network and application traffic, combined with the ability to quickly recognize and mitigate security threats. The result for OpSource is the actionable intelligence it requires to meet the needs of its customers." Peakflow SP provides real-time, network-wide anomaly detection and reporting of routing and traffic patterns across an entire network, enabling its users to interpret and visualize threats on the network. Arbor Networks' users can quickly determine the root cause of changes in traffic, which may be the result of new applications, or violations in usage policies, and offer the ability to evaluate peering relationships with partners to optimize transit performance.
