Harden Network and Data Center Infrastructure Against Stress and Attack
Sophisticated pre-deployment strategies must be
adopted by any Multiple System Operator (MSO)
seeking to roll out new services while delivering
the Quality of Experience (QoE) to retain existing
subscribers and attract new ones.
With the advent of triple-play services, MSOs’
traditional hybrid ber/coax (HFC) plant has evolved
into a packet delivery network. MSOs need to harden and maintain network and data center infrastructures to be resilient against high-stress application loads while providing a high level of security and defending against malevolent attacks. MSOs are also faced with managing their traffic mixes including Over the Top (OTT), VoIP, streaming video, gaming, peer-to-peer, and
social media.
The BreakingPoint Storm CTM is unique
in its ability to meet all of these challenges – simulating over 150 application protocols and provides the realism the required in a development environment so that issues can be detected and fixed in the lab prior to deployment
in the production network.
