Q: Could you tell us something about your automated DDoS protection and GigeNET Proxyshield?
A: We built the system for multiple reasons. One reason is customers who have multi-tenant servers , say someone who sells hosting customers on it, if one of the100s of customers gets ddosed, the entire server shouldn’t go down. We want to minimize the affect to the customers other accounts. So the system within seconds can detect an attack on an ip and filter it or null route it depending on the size, and the rest of the server and accounts on it will not be affected.
The system is extremely accurate, and has zero false positives. It is also extremely cost effective.
Q: Do you have any particular advice for startups planning to choose between dedicated, cloud or hybrid hosting solutions?
A: It really depends on the budget and the use. The cloud is great, you can start off extremely small and upgrade instantly as you need, very good for the development phase. Once your past that and your ready to launch, the dedicated route is the best to go. Once your business starts picking up and you start to see growth, and upgrades are needed a hybrid solution is absolutely the best way to go. We can advise customers with the solution they need if they are not sure whats best.
