A Leading Global Telecom and Technology Service Provider Endures 50% Network Traffic Increase Due to Coronavirus

 During March, Coronavirus had spread across most European Countries and many of the governments enforced a work-from-home lockdown for much of the population. As a result, the traffic on the organization’s network increased abruptly by 50% due to people working from home and using internet services. At the time, the corporation was planning a 100K Flow license increase for their Arbor products in next FY in accordance with their forecast. The increase in network traffic due to the pandemic required the organization to pull this upgrade forward and double the DDoS management, mitigation and visibility capability to 400K Flows. They added 4 Sightline licenses at 100K Flow capacity each.
