August 2010 by Marc Jacob
Tektronix Communications announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Arbor Networks, a leading provider of network security and management solutions for converged carrier networks and next-generation data centers. The acquisition is expected to close in September. The terms of the acquisition are not disclosed.
Arbor Networks, headquartered in Chelmsford, Mass., provides mobile and fixed-line operators, cable and DSL providers, ISPs and other cloud-based infrastructure and service providers with industry leading solutions for the detection and mitigation of network security threats. The company’s products include Arbor Peakflow®, the industry’s first carrier-class Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) prevention platform, which is the de facto standard for IP flow-based network security and analysis, and the Arbor eSeries platforms for broadband service optimization.
Network security threats are evolving, moving from volumetric-based attacks to more sophisticated application attacks targeted at specific services, including Domain Name System (DNS) and cloud-based infrastructure. Arbor Networks’ solutions address these challenges with a best-in-class offering for the detection and mitigation of network security threats that impact networks worldwide, causing significant lost revenue and associated collateral damage.
