Noction Intelligent Routing
Noction Intelligent Routing Platform (IRP) is a software solution that helps internet service providers (ISPs) optimize their network performance by allowing them to make routing decisions based on real-time network conditions. It does this by using a combination of algorithms and machine learning techniques to analyze network data in real-time and make routing decisions that minimize latency, reduce packet loss, and avoid congestion.
One way that Noction IRP helps reduce latency is by using real-time network data to identify the fastest routes for traffic to travel. This means that instead of relying on pre-determined routes that may not always be the fastest, Noction IRP can route traffic over the most optimal path in real-time.
Noction IRP also helps reduce packet loss by proactively identifying and mitigating potential issues that could cause packets to be lost. For example, if the software detects that a particular link is experiencing high levels of congestion, it can route traffic over an alternative path to avoid the congestion and reduce the likelihood of packet loss.
Noction IRP can also help eliminate internet blackouts by providing real-time monitoring of the network and proactively identifying and addressing potential issues before they can cause widespread disruptions.
Finally, Noction IRP allows ISPs to provide the highest performance blended bandwidth product by giving them the ability to optimize the use of their available bandwidth resources. By routing traffic over the most optimal path in real-time, Noction IRP helps ensure that bandwidth is used as efficiently as possible, which can help improve the overall performance of the network.
Noction IRP is a powerful tool that ServerCloud leverages to improve the performance of its network by minimizing latency, reducing packet loss, avoiding congestion, and eliminating internet blackouts. It can also help them provide the highest performance blended bandwidth product by optimizing the use of their available bandwidth resources.
Terabit DDoS Protection
ServerCloud utilizes leading security provider PATH.NET to provide terabit-scale protection at of infrastructure assets at all locations. Actively monitoring for disruptive activity, ServerCloud turns on PATH automatically at a /24 network level, as-needed. This always-on protection is a free feature to ServerCloud customers to protect performance of their most important asserts.
Distributed denial of service (DDOS) attacks are a type of cyber attack that involves overwhelming a network or server with traffic in an attempt to disrupt or disable the targeted system. These attacks can be highly disruptive to online businesses, as they can cause websites or other online services to become unavailable to users, leading to lost revenue and damage to the company’s reputation.
Intelligent network DDOS protection is a type of security measure that helps to protect against these attacks by identifying and mitigating DDOS traffic before it can reach the targeted system. This can be done using a variety of techniques, including traffic filtering, traffic scrubbing, and traffic redirection.
One of the key benefits of intelligent network DDOS protection is that it can help protect against large-scale volumetric attacks, which are attacks that involve a very high volume of traffic. These types of attacks can be particularly challenging to defend against, as they can generate massive amounts of traffic that can overwhelm traditional security measures. By using advanced algorithms and machine learning techniques to analyze traffic in real-time, intelligent network DDOS protection systems can help identify and mitigate these types of attacks more effectively.
Intelligent network DDoS protection is important for online businesses today because it helps to protect against a common and highly disruptive type of cyber attack. It is especially important for businesses that rely on their online presence to generate revenue, as DDoS attacks can cause significant financial losses. ServerCloud proudly delivers the features and benefits of leading protection freely to all of it’s customers.
