Sandvine, a leading provider of intelligent broadband network solutions for fixed and mobile operators, Wednesday announced that VMedia, an alternative triple-play provider throughout Ontario is using Sandvine’s Traffic Management and Network Security products to ensure a high quality of experience for their subscribers. VMedia is well known in its market for a unique IPTV platform that delivers a whole home entertainment experience, enabling subscribers to seamlessly enjoy conventional TV, over the top content, video on demand, and many other apps on their television via a single set-top box.
In addition to deploying Sandvine’s Traffic Management, VMedia has also deployed Sandvine’s Network Security in order to detect and mitigate distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks which could negatively impact the streaming experience of their subscribers. DDoS attacks attempt to make a computer resource or network unavailable, and the network infrastructure of communications service providers (CSPs) such as VMedia serve as a popular target for such malicious attacks.
Alexei Tchernobrivets, CEO of VMedia
Sandvine’s Network Security is an essential part of our security portfolio, which we rely on to protect subscribers and the integrity of the network infrastructure.
