New DDoS Protection for Physical or Virtual Environments

Virtualization Driving Change

More and more organizations are benefiting from virtualization, moving some or all of their applications to the cloud. They are turning their attention to the possibility of virtualizing their entire infrastructure, with software-defined networks (SDNs) running virtualized network functions (VNFs).

Introducing Virtual Edition DDoS Protection

In response, we recently launched the SmartWall® Network Threat Defense – Virtual Edition (vNTD), which brings real-time DDoS attack visibility and protection to virtualized environments for more diverse, flexible deployment possibilities. The virtual edition has the same powerful and rich DDoS detection, protection, visibility, and reporting capabilities as the SmartWall ONE physical appliances but is delivered as a virtual edition for easy deployment and elastic scaling.

Key Capabilities and Benefits

This new defense device is available for KVM and vSphere platforms, delivering line-rate protection at up to 10Gbps per instance. This gives organizations the flexibility to choose physical or virtual form factors. Of course, we recognize that many organizations have a mix of physical and virtual environments. That is why both the virtual and physical defense devices can be managed from a single centralized console, thus saving IT security staff time and improving overall efficiency.

The virtual edition can be dynamically deployed and scaled across virtualized networks, enabling internal segmentation as well as external-facing protection. It also enables the possibility of shielding existing network functions, including firewalls, IPS, WAF, load balancers, SBC, etc., as well as the virtualization controllers themselves, from the damaging effects and impact of DDoS attacks.

Rapid and Real-Time Protection

vNTD DDoS protection can be rapidly deployed to visualize, analyze, and defend against DDoS security events in real time. For more information, speak with one of our specialists.
