ScaleUp Technologies was not satisfied with its previous DDoS protection solution. It was a standalone solution that was not ideal from a technical perspective, and they were not receiving responsive, efficient support.
In addition, the DDoS solution provider had no POPs in Germany, and most of ScaleUp's customers are based in Germany. Routing traffic through a tunnel resulted in a minimum latency of 30 milliseconds, limited MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) and left more room for error.
ScaleUp Technologies chose Inter.link for DDoS protection because, despite being a pan-European provider, Inter.link has locations in Germany exactly where ScaleUp requires them. This ensures a direct fibre connection, keeping traffic local and latency extremely low.
There is now much less room for error and traffic can be rerouted through another Inter.link location if necessary. In addition, Inter.link provides video calls when needed, so support is mostly personal and efficient.
Sustainability is also an important focus for ScaleUp, which is committed to climate-friendly hosting, and has long been a pioneer in the areas of sustainable digitization and carbon-reduced data center management. They were very pleased to learn that inter.link is BSI PAS 2060 certified and therefore a carbon neutral provider according to the current international standard.
Inter.link DDoS Protection is designed to protect both hardware and software by detecting, filtering, and blocking malicious traffic. We combine our own backbone with multiple scrubbing centers to offer true global protection.
