Global networking intelligence and security solution provider Allot Communications revealed today that Russian satellite operator Amtel-Svyaz has implemented the Allot Service Gateway (SG), including Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS Secure), in partnership with Mandarin Solutions. The SG would maximize visibility, security, and control in a fully virtualized environment.

Amtel-Svyaz is a growing provider of Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) satellite communications services, servicing business-to-government and business-to-consumer market segments. The Allot SG DPI solution combines application-aware traffic control, DDOS protection, and bot containment to improve network Quality of Service (QOS) and user Quality of Experience (QOE) by eliminating malicious attacks and limiting bandwidth-hungry applications.

“The advantage of the DPI system from Allot is that it can be deployed on a virtual infrastructure. Thus, we were able to reduce the initial cost (CAPEX) and reduce the payback period of the system,” said Amtel-Syvaz First Deputy Chief Executive Officer Igor Ilinchik. “Solving the problems of network protection against DDOS attacks and overloads enabled us to improve our quality of services.”
