How We Guarantee Availability of Premium Data Centers
06 July, 2026 | 4 min
The key value of a premium data center network is maximum cloud-service availability through fault-tolerant and disaster-tolerant infrastructure. All data centers meet the highest reliability and security requirements of Tier III.
Challenge
DDoS protection for IT infrastructure—any attack size.
Automatic blocking, no IP ban required.
Filtered traffic via a dedicated delivery channel.
A couple of years ago, the company first faced carpet bombing DDoS attacks targeting thousands of IP addresses and producing hundreds of gigabits of traffic and tens of millions of packets per second.
Thanks to Strictera’s protection service, which had been enabled a year earlier in advance, the attacks were detected quickly and blocked immediately.
Solution
Cloud protection is delivered via direct connection to the Strictera NDP, with autonomous system subnets advertised to Strictera as a secure internet access provider.
All cloud provider traffic undergoes initial network attack analysis and blocking if needed. Clean, secure traffic then flows via dedicated gigabit channels to the cloud infrastructure.
"To stay protected against all network DDoS attacks, we use Strictera NDP. Attacks at the web application layer used to be uncommon, but that has changed. We weren’t targeted at L7 for quite some time, but eventually it happened, and Strictera helped us secure our website within an hour."

Сonstant cyberattacks have changed how data centers protect their clients. DDoS protection used to be an optional paid service or even a client headache, but today a modern data center is valued not only for 24/7 availability but also for the additional services it provides. As demand for cloud services grows, data centers are increasingly becoming systems integrators.
"Earlier, clients would go to different providers for different services. Now they increasingly ask us for a turnkey solution: hosting, communication channels, and DDoS protection. No one wants an unprotected data center or cloud anymore."

Results
Over the past few years, the data center network has been regularly hit by DDoS attacks ranging from 50 to 400 Gbps. Yet cloud platform clients remain largely unaware of them, because Strictera helps keep data center services available during attacks on subnets.
High-volume DDoS attacks on data centers’ infrastructure, repelled by Strictera NDP
Through this collaboration, Strictera expanded the cloud data center service portfolio with advanced DDoS and bot protection for websites, web applications, and APIs. As a result, more clients are coming in and, within a few months of hosting their virtual resources, asking about protection.
"A client comes to our data center for colocation and gets communication channels, cloud storage, and protection from DDoS attacks and bots, all in one place, with billing and technical support. There’s no need for multiple contracts, login, passwords, and other hassles. It’s financially beneficial, because even without specialized expertise, you can offer clients advanced L7 protection and earn a partner commission. We also Strictera solutions to our clients because we trust you to protect our resources." СIО, Premium Data Centers
