Cisco has selected Arbor’s Peakflow Threat Management System to deliver DDoS protection, at line rate speeds, on the Virtual Services Module (VSM) blade within Cisco’s ASR9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers.
This powerful combination enables service providers, enterprise and Government operators to protect the investments they’ve made in networks, services and application infrastructure by detecting and mitigating DDoS attacks before they impact availability or performance.
A spokesperson for Arbor Networks said: “By integrating our DDoS mitigation capabilities inside the Cisco ASR9000 router, this now opens up a new opportunity for Arbor to further penetrate these customer networks, helping them address a critical operational issue.
“This is an exciting moment for Arbor Networks as we once again work with Cisco to meet a critical need in the marketplace for global network operators.”
