Our enhanced DDoS protection means in the event of DDoS attacks our infrastructure will automatically redirect malicious traffic elsewhere to reduce disruption to our network. We use both on-site and upstream DDoS mitigation to achieve this.

  • Upstream filtering provided via direct interconnects with Voxility and Link11
  • 100Gbit of local scrubbing capacity via on-premise Corero equipment.
  • Automatically redirect all malicious inbound traffic via Voxility or Link11.
