Arbor Networks Offers Enterprise Data Center Appliances To Counter Application-Based DDoS: Page 3 of 3

Arbor Networks is introducing a new line of appliances designed to protect Internet-facing enterprise data centers against application-layer distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. The Pravail Availability Protection System (APS) family of appliances complements Arbor's network-based Peakflow appliances, which are primarily sold to carriers and service providers.

"It's not a top security priority," Suby says. "Most companies won't make investments unless they have an attack, and even then they may be reluctant to purchase, thinking it won't happen again. The price hasn't come to the point of being attractive to a broad set of enterprises."

Arbor is initially selling a 2Gbps appliance with a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $65,000, the first of four models going up to 10Gbps.
