As large enterprises
struggle against cyber threats, The Planet, a leading provider of Internet and
hosting services in Dallas, achieved superior security with Intrusion
Prevention Systems (IPS) from TippingPoint, a division of 3Com Corporation
(Nasdaq: COMS – News). The advanced solution was the only product that could operate
effectively in The Planet’s ultra high-volume environment, where gigabits of
traffic at any moment access one million customer Websites residing on the
firm’s 23,000 servers.

The TippingPoint Intrusion Prevention Systems prevent malicious traffic
like viruses, worms and other threats from entering The Planet’s network and
its customers’ networks, home to 10,000 clients, which range from individuals
to multinational corporations. The Planet is one of the fastest data centers
in the world, with aggregate throughput of over 16 Gigabits per second (Gbps)
of traffic per data center. TippingPoint’s IPS delivers the most thorough and
preemptive security available without degrading performance.

“Our customers depend on The Planet to safeguard their networks and
Websites, and now that we’ve deployed the TippingPoint Intrusion Prevention
Systems, we are doing so with even greater confidence and an unparalleled
level of security,” said John Bradberry, vice president of information
security at The Planet. “We’re also improving our market position by
demonstrating security as a clear differentiator over our competitors.”
