Corero Network Security plc (LON:CNS), the AIM listed network security company, has today announced that its SmartWall® Threat Defense System (“SmartWall”) 100Gbps technology has been selected by two North American customers, a service provider and a hosting provider (“Customers”), to deliver real-time DDoS protection to their respective end-customers.
The combined customer orders are worth in excess of $400,000 for SmartWall products and related one-year support services.
Earlier this year, Corero launched its Intel®-based 100Gbps appliance, following a two year development investment led by its Edinburgh software development team. The 100Gbps product (the SmartWall NTD1100) extends Corero’s real-time DDoS mitigation leadership position by delivering line-rate protection at 100Gbps. The SmartWall NTD1100 complements Corero’s 10Gbps product (the SmartWall NTD120). All SmartWall products share a common management and data analytics platform ensuring efficient management and consistent protection across a customer’s network.
Andrew Lloyd, Corero Network Security plc and EVP Sales and Marketing, said: “These customer wins mark an important milestone for our SmartWall product. We see growing adoption of 100Gbps connections, which in turn is driving demand for our SmartWall NTD1100 product.
“We expect this demand for our unique technology to accelerate in 2018 as these faster 100Gbps links combined with increasing end-user service-level expectations require a DDoS mitigation technology refresh. Corero is well placed to service these needs and to benefit from this trend.”
