Swiss Web Host Selects IG2000 (August 29, 2007) - Network behavior analysis systems provider IntruGuard Devices (intruguard.com) announced on Tuesday it has implemented its denial of service attack mitigation appliance at Switzerland-based Web hosting provider METANET AG (metanet.ch).
The new infrastructure protects its international links from denial of service attacks. METANET AG operates 500 servers in two data centers in Zurich, serving 10,000 customers and over 25,000 domains.
The company's international links were badly abused and were affected by many denial of service attacks and distributed denial of service attacks before IntruGuard deployed IG2000. Once it was installed, attack traffic was instantly filtered allowing legitimate traffic to go through.
"IG200/2000, with their fine granularity of counters used for traffic parameter monitoring build complex and detailed legitimate traffic model for a Web hosting infrastructure," says Hemant Jain, co-founder and CTO of IntruGuard. "This helps in mitigation of complex DDoS and Botnet attacks that attempt to mimic legitimate traffic. The Web hosting industry is overwhelmed with growing number of DDoS and Botnet attacks."
METANET Deploys IntruGuard Solution (August 24, 2007) - Network behavior analysis system provider IntruGuard Devices (intruguard.com) announced on Thursday that Switzerland-based Web hosting provider METANET (metanet.ch) has deployed its denial of service attack mitigation appliance, IG2000, to handle attacks.
The new infrastructure protects METANET's international links from DoS attacks and enables the company to better serve its customers from attacks originating from international locations.
METANET says it has 500 servers in two data centers in Zurich, serving 10,000 customers and over 25,000 domains. The international links were badly abused and affected by many DoS attacks and DDoS attacks prior to the deployment of IG2000. However, after its installation, attack traffic was automatically filtered enabling legitimate traffic through.
"Botnet and DDOS attacks have been growing and cost-conscious hosting providers like us need custom hardware based solutions that can withstand the attacks and mitigate them with the least manual intervention," says Mirco Schnarwiler, co-founder of METANET. "IntruGuard's IG2000 lets us focus on more important business priorities and is the best of the breed solution on the market for this purpose. It is the service that differentiates us in this competitive space and IntruGuard's IG2000 is an enabler."
