Is Advanced Anti-DDoS Software or Hardware?

AAD, a software DDoS mitigation service, provides instantaneous protection once you connect your services to AAD. You can view DDoS attack protection details on its dashboard to learn about the network security state.

Compared with the traditional hardware DDoS mitigation service, AAD has the following advantages:

  • Immense defense capability

    One high-defense IP address is able to defend against 1000 Gbit/s network-, and application-layer DDoS attacks. The AAD service offers more than 15 Tbit/s defense capability.

  • High availability

    Automated attack detection and adaptive defense policies support real-time protection. Service traffic is distributed in clusters, which features high performance, low latency, and high stability.

  • Flexible protection

    You can buy both the basic bandwidth protection and elastic bandwidth protection of AAD for a higher protection capability. The protection bandwidth can be adjusted depending on your needs.
