Arbor Networks, a leading provider of secure service control solutions for global business networks, has completed its acquisition of Ellacoya Networks, a leading provider of carrier-class broadband service optimisation solutions. “The two solutions are highly complementary and extremely powerful when combined, giving customers unparalleled broad and deep visibility that helps them protect and manage their network in ways not previously made possible by one company,” says Jack Boyle, Arbor Networks’ chief executive officer. The new Arbor provides intelligent visibility across the network, from core to broadband edge, and protection from network threats, including routing issues, DDoS attacks, high bandwidth consuming applications like P2P and VoD.

Peering Evaluation and Visualization
Negotiating, developing, and tendering peering arrangements can be challenging. Optimizing interconnection deals without a peering evaluation and visualization tool such as Peakflow SP can be an onerous task.
Leveraging the Peakflow platform’s network-wide perspective, Peakflow SP offers the ability to evaluate existing and potential peers, aggregating their traffic from across the network. Network operators can compare settlement-free and paid transit peers to optimize their transit and peering arrangements, and significantly reduce costs.
Peakflow SP also helps wholesale carriers and small providers in dealing with the increasing “peer pressure” to reduce transit costs and find the right peers.
