DPC of Imperva Incapsula

The Imperva company, the expert in the field of products for protection of web applications and DBMS, opened in April, 2017 in Moscow the first Russian center of cleaning of traffic Imperva Incapsula. Basic function of this cloud service — protection against DDoS attacks and the maximum decrease in their influence at the network layer.

Still for cleaning of the traffic generated in Russia the company was forced to direct it out of borders of the country through Warsaw and Stockholm.

Opening of DPC of Imperva Incapsula in Moscow lifts limits of legal character — the Imperva Incapsula service "is net" now before the law as check and cleaning of traffic goes "on the fly", data of customers are not stored and not obrabatyvaot.

Besides, reduce the delays entered by this service, and if necessary also direct connection of customers to the Moscow DPC is possible.

Physically Imperva Incapsula is some number of the hardware and software systems occupying 1-2 racks in DPC of Ixcellerate with a local performance up to 100 GB / page. In need of their number it is possible to increase in real time^[1].

Among customers there is Imperva Incapsula several large banks and carriers, large payment system, TV channel, etc.

Being global provider of services in protection against DDoS attacks, Imperva Incapsula sees many such attacks in general to networks.

Their power constantly grows, the company notes: if in 2016 the largest of the DDoS attacks reflected by Imperva Incapsula had the power of 650 GB / with, then this year the 1.2 DDoS attack of Tb / page was already observed. Any local operator, working only within the country, will not cope with such attacks — they need to be filtered it is distributed especially as they it is frequent and are made from geographically distributed sources, he is sure. The existing Russian services of protection against DDoS attacks, without having a global network of cleaning, do not provide the due level and scale of protection for big customers yet.

The Moscow DPC became the 33rd on the global area network of cleaning of traffic of Imperva Incapsula, and the company continues to increase number of points of presence in the different countries. According to Shaklevich, now the Imperva Incapsula network has a threefold stock on power concerning the largest of the observed DDoS attacks — 3.5 Tb / page.

Along with protection against DDoS attacks the Moscow DPC of Imperva Incapsula will provide also some other services: balancing of loading, firewall of web applications (WAF), etc.

Imperva Incapsula services are on sale through a partner network. In Russia two distributors work Imperva (the companies Netwell and RRC) and about 15 authorized partners, 4-5 of which the vendor considers strategic. All partners sell both Imperva Incapsula services, and other products and services of Imperva and act as guarantors of their quality and observance SLA.

As for the general sales to Imperva company in Russia and the CIS, according to Alexander Shaklevich, in 2015-2016 they grew approximately for 10% annually in dollar expression that it is worse than its universal growth rates, but it is better, than at many western vendors in our country. Against the background of the decreasing budgets of customers it is good result.
