Case Study: Layer 3 Communications creates new revenue stream with on-demand DDoS protection from A10 Networks (Thunder TPS)

Layer 3 Creates New Revenue Stream With Innovative On-Demand Ddos Prevention Service

Layer 3 Communications, a southeastern U.S. provider of wired and wireless networking, data center design, and information security, needed a cost-effective way to offer on-demand DDoS protection for government and education clients. Customers required high-speed, targeted defense only during critical windows (for example online testing), and the prevailing annual-license models were too expensive and inflexible.

Layer 3 deployed A10 Thunder TPS appliances—high-performance, API-programmable DDoS defense—allowing automated, on-demand protection without year-round fees. The new service created a profitable revenue stream, improved client satisfaction and retention, and opened doors to new accounts by delivering scalable, cost-competitive multi-vector attack protection.
