| CloudShield Announces Applications for the IBM Blade Center CloudShield Technologies announces support for its DNS Defender and Subscriber Services Manager (SSM) applications on the new IBM BladeCenter PN41 blade. The combination gives service providers and national governments a comprehensive platform to protect networks from attacks, launch new services, manage network bandwidth and mitigate traffic congestion with a single blade. CloudShield's DNS Defender application will run on IBM's BladeCenter PN41 blade. The software provides protection against DNS attacks and can reduce the number of DNS servers while improving the overall performance of the network. By eliminating the need for firewalls, load balancers and additional servers, DNS Defender provides carriers with a significant CAPEX and OPEX cost savings. CloudShield's SSM is an enhanced solution for properly managing network traffic. Service provider networks need to have the ability to deliver latency sensitive applications such as VoIP and IPTV, without interruption. SSM gives carriers a better understanding of network traffic congestion, helping to deliver higher standards of customer satisfaction. CloudShield's PacketWorks is the open development environment that enables rapid application development. It allows developers to build sophisticated security and service control applications four times faster than using other approaches. This open environment streamlines development in three ways: masks the complexity of writing massively parallel code for the CloudShield platform or the new IBM BladeCenter PN41 blade; makes optimal resource decisions so developers don't have to program these choices and has a built in understanding of packet and network processing. An open programming environment provides service providers and national governments the rapid programmability that they need to respond to changing customer requirements and the latest security challenges. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Networking News :: home page |
