Hosting and Cloud Infrastructure
For less than the support costs of our previous appliance-based tool, Kentik provides us with a far-stronger solution that powers a new level network visibility, scale, and security for our customers.”
Solutions for Hosting and Cloud Infrastructure
Peering & Interconnection
Identify remote networks to target for direct interconnection and understand the potential impacts on new and existing connectivity—to help identify peering opportunities, optimize routing, and negotiate more favorable contracts.
Benefits:
- Find opportunities to optimize costs or improve performance via new connectivity
- Evaluate potential peering partners and build data-driven business cases for interconnection
- Measure traffic ratios and enforce peering agreements
Traffic Engineering
Resolve impending congestion and customer impact by identifying logical traffic groups that can be moved to alternate paths. Ensure that traffic delivery conforms to Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and maximizes utilization of costly network resources.
Benefits:
- Make sound traffic engineering decisions
- Automate data collection and collation for traffic engineering tasks
- Avert capacity crises by making space for new capacity lead times
Capacity Planning
Automate network capacity planning tasks and prioritize actions using growth forecasts and projected run-out dates. Gain integrated insights into network capacity, utilization, performance, and traffic composition to ensure the best service delivery at the lowest cost.
Benefits:
- Automates data gathering and correlation to prioritize the most critical capacity issues
- Eliminate complex spreadsheets and manual planning processes
- Prevent congestion surprises that impact applications or users
DDoS Defense
Kentik includes the industry’s most accurate detection of DDoS attacks and other anomalies such as large-scale data exfiltration. Multi-level thresholds escalate threats as they develop, and built-in integrations enable automated triggers for internal or third-party mitigation.
Benefits:
- Detect and defend up to 50% more attacks* (TechValidate 2017 Customer Survey)
- Eliminate false positives/negatives and decrease response time with automatic ML-based traffic profiling
- Visualize attack characteristics and network impact
- Trigger automatic mitigation actions including RTBH, Flowspec, and external mitigation hardware or services
Hybrid Cloud
Gain an immediate and single, unified view to understand topology state, traffic flows, network performance, and device health status within and between multi-cloud, on-prem, and internet infrastructures.
Benefits:
- Quickly find and resolve problems by viewing network performance and utilization data from the data center to clouds, other sites/data centers and internet sites
- React quickly to network conditions and discover which devices are experiencing CPU, memory, interface or traffic anomalies
- Easily plan and troubleshoot traffic patterns in data center traffic
