IBM's BladeCenter brings carrier class reliability, virtualization and CAPEX/OPEX reduction from IT environments to the service provider infrastructure. CloudShield's DPI technology allows the BladeCenter to penetrate deep into the network core by delivering more sophisticated network control and security applications. Together CloudShield and IBM deliver an open and scalable advanced platform that enables network operators to offer personalized services, new billing models and new revenue streams.

CloudShield's flow and content control capability seamlessly adapts off-the-shelf enterprise security and control applications into multiple company service offerings that can be sold by service providers to their business or residential customers. For example, a CheckPoint® Firewall or an ISS® Intrusion Prevention System can be transformed into a scalable multi-party platinum service offering without any software modifications and without special integration into billing support systems. Together IBM and CloudShield deliver the best platform for powering next-generation, converged IP networks.
