"This year, we judged products in nine technical categories. We vetted the nominations from more than 200 entries down to three and sometimes four finalists in each category. It's really exciting to see so many companies creating products that truly help IT professionals and developers make the most of technology advancements. These products add business value for the people who adopt them. As cloud and mobile become more integral to the workplace, innovation continues to accelerate at a rapid pace. Windows IT Pro is proud to be on the front line for evaluating the best technology solutions," said Amy Eisenberg, Editor-in-Chief of Windows IT Pro.
The A10 Thunder TPS appliance product line provides high-performance, network-wide protection against distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, and ensures that service availability is maintained in the face of volumetric, protocol, resource and other sophisticated application attacks. A10 showcased the Thunder TPS product live at TechEd-continuously mitigating a 200 million packet per second SYN flood attack over 100 Gbps (at Layer 4) produced by Ixia load generation equipment, while simultaneously mitigating multiple sophisticated application attacks (at Layer 7) from well-known attack tools.
