Telecom Lead America: Arbor Networks, a provider of
network security and management solutions for enterprise and service provider
networks, announced that Gen-i, a division of Telecom New Zealand, has joined
Arbor’s Cloud Signaling Coalition.
The Cloud Signaling Coalition (CSC) is a partnership
between service providers, datacenter operators and enterprises with the
mission to ensure the availability of their network infrastructure and speed
time-to-mitigation for distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks.
Gen-i provides hosted and integrated ICT solutions to
business and government organizations, including business continuity, cloud
computing, contact center, collaboration, data center and mobility services.
Gen-i’s Safecom service is a suite of security-focused solutions, providing
effective, robust protection for the network perimeter 24 hours a day.
“Gen-i is committed to offering our clients ICT
solutions that deliver real business outcomes. Our clients expect these services
to be available, reliable and secure 24/7. We are pleased to participate in
Arbor’s Cloud Signaling Coalition. Arbor is an important part of our Safecom
service and we see the CSC as an important tool that will help us further
reduce time-to-mitigation for dynamic threats facing our client networks,”
said Leanne Buer, Gen-i Head of Networked ICT Products.
“The Cloud Signaling system is efficient and
integrated, bridging the customer premise to the service provider cloud. Arbor
is bringing its decade of DDoS mitigation experience in ISP networks to the
enterprise at a time when availability threats are top of mind for network
operators,” said Nick Race, Arbor Networks’ country manager for Australia
and New Zealand.
Arbor Networks’ 450 customers include ISPs and enterprise
networks.
According to Infonetics Research, Arbor Networks is the
dominant leader for DDoS prevention overall as well as in the Carrier,
Enterprise and Mobile market segments.
