Why Prolexic

Our Global Network

The best global DDoS mitigation network for DDoS protection

DDoS attacks are getting bigger and more complex. In 2011 Prolexic saw DDoS attacks in excess of 200 gigabits. That’s much too much for a local network appliance or Internet service provider (ISP). A local DDoS appliance can handle less than 1 gigabit per second and an ISP or telco DDoS solution can handle less than 10 gigabits per second. And even though a content delivery network (CDN) has more bandwidth, a CDN is only able to handle simple volumetric attacks. As a result, these DDoS mitigation methods will not stop most DoS and DDoS attacks today. Only Prolexic can.

Prolexic has a dedicated DDoS mitigation network well in excess of 800 Gbps that is spread out geographically and distributed among multiple carriers to protect against any and all DDoS attacks. The availability of this bandwidth for DDoS protection gives Prolexic a substantial advantage over any single ISP that must rely only on its own backbone for capacity.

The Prolexic Global Network is comprised of five scrubbing centers located strategically around the world. This network plus our peering techniques and strategic deployment of resources enables us to effectively mitigate DDoS attack traffic in the cloud and closest to its sources to provide you with the best DDoS protection.
