Hivelocity, a data center services and cloud hosting provider, serves a wide range of customers from more than 130 countries around the world. The company’s network, which features 8 transit providers and 300+ private peers, has been designed to provide high levels of availability, reliability, and performance for every customer regardless of their geographic location. However, with DDoS attacks on the rise and being a global concern, Hivelocity needed to deploy a solution that would ensure that its customers stay online. The demographic of their customer base varies widely, hosting web applications, online games, audio and video streams as well as credit card processing services and health service companies who require a HIPAA compliant data center. These customers count on Hivelocity to provide them with a highly reliable network that keeps their businesses online at all times.

解决方案

Hivelocity had tested various DDoS mitigation solutions, prior to exploring Corero. They had been using alternative solutions in the past but encountered limitations in capacity and rule sets. Ultimately they felt that other vendors were boxing them in, so they started looking around for a different answer. They explored developing their own mitigation tools internally, but ultimately decided their development time was better used on their core projects. Corero being an on-premises solution is “critical for us” adds Protich. “Some of our clients looked at cloud-based DDoS solutions, and regardless of the vendor, our customers don’t want the latency that results when traffic has to get routed off the network to a scrubbing facility just to get back to their server here. That’s why we made the decision early in the process to deploy equipment directly on premises, which doesn’t add latency and allows better control. Basically, if we can have full control, we have a full picture of what’s going on and can provide a more timely response—which is what our customers expect from us,” says Protich.
