CloudShield: Breakthrough Solutions
for Today's Most Demanding Networks
CloudShield was founded in 2000 with the goal of addressing the central challenges facing carrier-class network operators:
- Implementing fine-grained service- and subscriber-level policy and bandwidth management in an era of complex converged networks.
- Securing network infrastructure against increasingly sophisticated threats.
- Reducing capital and operating expenditures while driving new revenues at a time of tightening cost pressures.
The CloudShield network application platform offers the first comprehensive solution to all of these challenges, delivering unprecedented services management and infrastructure security
capabilities while transforming the speed and economics of delivering "in-the-cloud" services. CloudShield's platform is a complete solution, consisting of best-of-breed appliance- and blade-level hardware,
a secure real-time operating system, a rapid application development environment, and the industry's broadest array of deployed applications. Designed for service providers and national
governments, CloudShield's platform is being used to manage and secure some of the world's most demanding network environments.
First open, programmable network platform
The CloudShield platform brings open, general-purpose computing to a network equipment market dominated by closed, fixed-function appliances. Now network operation centers can take
advantage of the same IT efficiencies that revolutionized data centers. Benefits include rapid, low-cost application development; an unmatched array of deployed applications for
subscriber management, security and other tasks; a robust ecosystem of hardware, software and system integrator partners; and the efficiencies of virtualization (consolidating multiple
applications on one hardware device).
Unprecedented capabilities and functionality
CloudShield's solution delivers the intelligent processing needed to manage services and subscribers, ensure quality and optimize performance in today's mixed-traffic converged networks.
It provides total visibility (access to every packet and every bit) and real-time analysis of traffic, enabling the ultimate in services management, policy enforcement and security. By
allowing greater visibility and control at the service and subscriber level, CloudShield also allows network providers to develop a wide variety of new value-added, revenue-generating
services. CloudShield's platform offers unmatched performance and scalability and benefits from a unique secure architecture that closes a variety of vulnerabilities other platforms are
prone to.
