Arbor Networks

Arbor’s Peakflow solutions (Peakflow X and Peakflow SP ) gather and analyze IP flow data. Using this data, Peakflow builds a model of normal network behavior. Subsequently, Peakflow alerts network operators to abnormalities or anomalies in their network traffic that could be due to simple misconfigurations or new service turn-up. The Peakflow X solution is used for internal network visibility and protection, while the Peakflow SP solution is designed for larger, carrier-class networks. In fact, Peakflow SP is considered by many of the world’s service providers to be the de facto standard for detecting and stopping distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks using IP flow information. By using Peakflow’s flow correlation and anomaly detection capabilities, network operators can manage and secure their networks, troubleshoot and pinpoint network attacks, monitor users and applications, and report on network performance and security issues.

Use IP Traffic Flow Data to Reduce Costs and Generate Revenue

The Arbor Peakflow solution provides a cost-effective approach to pervasive network visibility. That’s because it captures information about traffic flows by leveraging the IP flow technology already embedded in a network’s existing devices, rather than requiring additional hardware-based probes that are expensive to purchase and maintain. As a result, Peakflow helps network service providers increase the ROI in their network infrastructure.

Peakflow SP can reduce network transit costs by enabling more informed routing decisions based on clear visibility at the peering and transit edges. In addition, Arbor Peakflow SP TMS is a comprehensive threat management system that can detect, surgically mitigate and report on DDoS attacks. Along with saving money, this threat management functionality can improve profitability by providing the foundation for new, revenue-generating, managed in-cloud DDoS protection services.
