Case Study: Line2 achieves improved availability and substantial cost savings with F5 Networks Silverline DDoS Protection

Line2 Boosts Availability and Cuts Costs with F5 Silverline DDoS Protection

Line2, a San Francisco–based cloud phone service for small businesses, was struggling with excessive downtime, poor visibility into attacks, frustrating vendor communication, and high mitigation costs after a negative experience with a prior DDoS provider. To protect its critical telephony services and ensure consistent uptime, Line2 chose F5 Networks’ Silverline DDoS Protection (Silverline), a managed cloud-scrubbing service.

F5 Networks implemented Silverline DDoS Protection with 24x7 access to its Security Operations Center and the Silverline Customer Portal, delivering real-time mitigation, granular traffic visibility, and responsive expert support. The deployment boosted availability and uptime, improved reporting and manageability, reduced incident resolution time, and saved Line2 thousands of dollars per month.
