Sorin Esanu, Director of Network Engineering at Race Communications, explains why deep, always-on network intelligence is essential when you have massive volumes of traffic moving in and out from many sources. After outgrowing an on-prem tool that required ongoing maintenance and didn’t deliver the analytics they needed, Race chose Kentik for richer visibility, daily traffic optimization, and improved security.
Sorin shares how Race uses Kentik to detect DDoS attacks and trigger automated mitigation that pushes protections to border routers for near real-time response. He also describes how Kentik helps them steer traffic away from paid transit and toward exchanges and PNIs, backed by dashboards that reveal exactly how traffic flows across their network.
