Case Study: SdV Plurimedia achieves 100% uptime with NETSCOUT Peakflow SP DDoS protection

SdV Plurimedia Uses the Peakflow SP Solution to Guarantee Customers 100% Uptime

SdV Plurimedia is a leading French hosting and web-services provider for more than 200 mainly media customers (e.g., Le Figaro, Les Échos, ARTE) that require high performance and contractual 100% uptime. Because customer sites are public and often controversial, SdV faced frequent DDoS attempts—ranging from small daily probes to large events such as a 4 Gbps SYN flood that lasted days—and needed mitigation that would meet strict SLAs without creating a risky in-line single point of failure.

SdV deployed Arbor Peakflow SP and Peakflow SP TMS out-of-band, using BGP off‑ramping to detect and surgically mitigate attacks without touching the core network; the setup took less than a day and avoided service interruption. The solution preserved customer uptime, reduced business risk, became a marketing differentiator, and delivered added benefits like improved network visibility and smarter peering decisions.
