This global infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) provider delivers edge computing services and applications to clients in industries that are very performance sensitive such as gaming and financial services.
Latency and milliseconds are crucial for this IaaS provider, so they maximize performance, reliability, and availability with a multi-pronged strategy. Their approach includes high-density cloud locations, terabit throughput, redundancy, and a 24×7 network operations center. When searching for a DDoS protection solution to sell as a subscription service, performance was paramount. “Given the industries our clients are in, it didn’t make sense for us to provide DDoS protection at a performance impact,” said the VP of Product Management. Generating incremental revenue was also key, requiring full integration into their platform, client selection through their portal, and visibility of DDoS mitigation.
After considering several DDoS solutions, the IaaS provider decided to engage in a proof of concept with Corero. Based on a test plan they developed in consultation with Corero, they put the solution through its paces and the Corero team and solution met all their key requirements. “We had a Slack channel going which made it easy to ask questions and our technical contact at Corero was very responsive, so we could move forward quickly,” the customer explained.
