The answer comes down to one word: visibility.

By the time you’re hit by a DDoS attack, it’s already too late. Same goes for when your customers start complaining about a routing issue. So how do you stay ahead of it?

Before talking about security or performance, you need to know what’s happening on your network: where traffic originates, where it’s going, which paths it takes, how it behaves... Without that, you’re flying blind and can only react to events as they happen.

Hundreds of operators, CDNs and hosting providers among the largest in the world use it to steer their network strategy: visualizing their traffic flows, optimizing their routes, detecting anomalies, and more.

Until now, this kind of solution was reserved for players with the resources to deploy and maintain such infrastructure in-house. France-IX is changing that: you can integrate it into your services in just a few clicks, with no servers to provision, no complex licensing to manage, and no dedicated staff to train.

In practice, that means:

  • a single console to monitor all of your IP transit and France-IX peering;
  • precise traffic flow modeling via NetFlow and BGP to identify and optimize your traffic paths;
  • full visibility to respond very quickly in the event of a DDoS attack and above all, to anticipate one;
  • technical support provided directly by France-IX engineers, available 24/7;
  • all tools that help you better understand how your network operates and improve it.

It’s through this visibility and proactive control that you’ll be able to guard against a wide range of issues.
