Clean Pipe - Prolexic Technologies - Defense against DDoS?
Prolexic Clean Pipe
The Prolexic Intrusion Prevention Network (IPN) is a multi-million-dollar, four facility, global network designed specifically to protect Prolexic customers from DDoS attacks. Prolexic’s Clean Pipe offers the most advanced DDoS protection available in the world. We have incorporated significant flexibility into our Clean Pipe product line allowing us to filter and protect enterprises of varying sizes, regardless of network resources, existing security hardware, and/or physical location. Leveraging unique filtering techniques, high-speed bandwidth and peering, advanced routing, and other patent-pending devices, Prolexic has created the most powerful DDoS detection and protection system in the world. Consequently, Prolexic has demonstrated success in monitoring, filtering, and routing massive traffic flows, often shouldering multi-gigabit-per-second distributed attacks for its customers. Prolexic’s solution is easily implemented into networks of all sizes, often with little or no infrastructure investment.
The Clean Pipe can be deployed in one of the two following flavors:
Clean Pipe Managed Service
For customers who wish to rely on Prolexic to manage their border defense, Prolexic will reroute customer Internet traffic through one or more of its patent-pending IPN centers and deliver purified, threat-free bandwidth back to the customer. This process is completely transparent to the customer and the end-user. Prolexic will remove threats from traffic, including the largest and most destructive DDoS attacks known to the interner, before they ever reach the customer’s network infrastructure. In fact, utilizing proprietary technology which removes the bad-traffic overhead that clutters up most internet circuits, Prolexic has proven that it can actually increase the speed and overall performance of its customers’ websites. The managed system is available in multiple configurations able to handle a wide variety of custom protocols, and network setups.
Clean Pipe Circuits
Imagine having a T1 that can withstand a 1+ Gbps SYN flood or GET flood. With a Prolexic Dedicated Circuit this dream is now a reality. We have now incorporated all the features of Prolexic’s Clean Pipe service into a dedicated circuit/leased line. Truly clean, protected bandwidth is now a cross-connect (for customers collocated at a Prolexic co-lo facility) or circuit turn up away. This circuit operates for all intents and purposes as a general Internet transit circuit. Behind the scenes, however, we have coupled high-performance route aggregation (ensuring the best route possible to your end customer) with advanced DDoS mitigation methods to create the first hardened, exploit free, SLA bound internet connection service.
