Defiant DDoS Shield for Colocation

DDoS prevention and mitigation for colocated servers. It's the fastest way to mitigate DDoS attacks.

For companies whose unbroken online presence is critical—banks, online retailers and the public sector—DDoS prevention and mitigation is critical. When an attack occurs, the first goal is to stop it before it impacts the network. And the second is to get back online as quickly as possible. Traditional approaches at DDoS prevention and mitigation fall short of success. Firewalls can stop basic attacks, but they're not built to handle millions of packets per second of dirty DDoS traffic. Over-provisioning is expensive. Ultimately, neither can keep up with the always-increasing challenge facing efforts at DDoS prevention and mitigation.

PEER 1 Hosting Defiant DDoS Shield for Colocation is a perfect solution for fast and certain DDoS prevention and mitigation. It eliminates the need to invest in equipment and infrastructure for use only in case of an attack. And it gets you back online in the fastest time possible.

How Defiant DDoS Shield Works

Here's how Defiant DDoS Shield for Colocation goes to work:

1. All inbound traffic is monitored.
2. When large scale DDoS attacks are detected, our expert NOC personnel are alerted.
3. The NOC staff then alerts you, and you decide if you want to engage the Defiant DDoS Shield.
4. Defiant DDoS Shield diverts the dirty traffic to the nearest Defiant DDoS Shield node.
5. Once the traffic hits the node, it is scrubbed and cleaned.
6. The clean traffic is then placed back onto the wire, directed to the correct Secure Bandwidth node, and delivered to your server.

Secure Bandwidth—Effective Front Line Defense

DDoS prevention and mitigation begins with PEER 1 Hosting Secured Bandwidth at the edge of your network. Using a RioRey® solution in front of the firewall, Secure Bandwidth provides strong, front-line DDoS prevention and mitigation, avoiding null routing and ensuring you stay online. Secure Bandwidth is included with Defiant DDoS Shield for Colocation, or can be put in place separately.

Secure Bandwidth Thresholds

• Up to 500 mbps of total traffic per customer.
• Up to 100,000 packets per second per customer.

Should the attack exceed Secure Bandwidth thresholds, traffic will then be either null routed, or—upon your request—passed to Defiant DDoS Shield for Colocation for mitigation.
