Arbor Networks has launched version 6.0 of Peakflow SP, a platform designed to proactively protect organizations against cyber threats such as distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attacks and botnets.

The new features and benefits of Peakflow SP 6.0 include lower costs, flexible licensing, support for virtual machines, fast deployments, scalability and performance improvements, and attack mitigation enhancements.

The platform – which incorporates Peakflow SP and the Threat Management System (TMS) – is designed to detect attack traffic and remove it without impacting regular business traffic.

“With the Peakflow SP 6.0 release, we’re giving customers the performance, scalability and the flexibility they require to secure distributed and complex network environments. For example, for the first time, customers have the option to deploy the Peakflow SP solution on Arbor hardware, virtual machines or both,” said Arbor Networks President Colin Doherty.

“Flex Licensing will allow our customers to cost effectively deploy the Peakflow SP solution pervasively across their network – from the peering/transit edge, to the core backbone, to the customer edge – vastly improving their traffic visibility and advanced threat protection.”
