挑战
Jagex Games Studio, a Cambridge-based multi-award-winning games developer and publisher, was facing an increase in DDoS attacks for various reasons, including banning known DDoSers, attention-seeking purposes, and those looking for bragging rights. The company also faced extortion attempts, with bad actors threatening to take down the site unless Jagex paid their ransom requests. The company was also threatened with DDoS unless they made changes to the game itself. These instances posed a serious challenge to game availability, which is the lifeblood of the organisation. The company was using a legacy DDoS mitigation solution that was not performing to specifications and was based on time-consuming reactive policies in an industry that demands proactive defense measures.
关于客户
Jagex Games Studio is a Cambridge-based multi-award-winning games developer and publisher. It is known for developing popular gaming communities like Runescape and War of Legends. With 450 staff onsite, it serves more than 3 million unique users per month, making it the largest independent games company in Europe. Jagex has built a global reputation for developing hugely popular, accessible, free-to-play games and providing an unbeatable community experience for millions of players around the world. The company operates five major datacentres in the US and Europe to keep its global online communities running 24/7. The company's revenue generation relies heavily on system and service availability, and the impact of DDoS attacks can be incredibly costly when systems, applications or platforms fall victim to attack.
解决方案
Jagex decided to implement Corero’s SmartWall® Threat Defense System in all of its five major datacentres worldwide after an initial proof of concept trial in its London datacentre. The Corero SmartWall TDS is a purpose-built family of network security appliances designed to eliminate DDoS attacks in real-time through on-premises, rapidly scalable high performing deployments. Included with the purchase of SmartWall TDS, is the Corero SecureWatch® Analytics, powered by Splunk. Jagex also works closely with the Corero Security Operations team via the SecureWatch PLUS Service, enhancing the internal resources with the knowledge and experience Corero provides. The solution provides Jagex with more visibility and is an intelligence tool as much as a DDoS mitigation tool.

Darwin Ecosystem: Accelerating discovery and insight through cutting-edge big data and cognitive technologies
Darwin Ecosystem was founded with a unique vision of harnessing chaos theory mathematics to uncover previously hidden connections in unstructured data. The company’s algorithms can look at all the data generated by any source (such as news, RSS feeds and Twitter), and analyze how a specific set of concepts within that data are evolving over time. This is particularly valuable in situations such as business and competitive intelligence, social research, brand monitoring, legal discovery, risk mitigation and even law enforcement. A common problem in these areas is that a regular web search will only turn up the all-time most popular answers to a given question – but what the expert researcher is actually interested in is the moment-tomoment evolution of the data available on that topic. Darwin’s algorithm is computationally intensive, and the sources of data it correlates can be vast. To bring its benefits to a larger commercial audience, Darwin needed to find a way to make it scale.

Delivering modern data protection with cloud scale backup from Cobalt Iron and IBM
Organizations are struggling to modernize their legacy data protection environments in the face of growing demands around new infrastructure, new applications, and budget consolidation. Virtualization and modern application development processes have significantly outgrown legacy backup architectures. In response, infrastructure teams have created multiple backup solution types to handle the varying SLAs (performance, scale, cost) required by their business sponsors. However, the sheer number and variety of solutions in this uncontrolled expansion creates huge amounts of work, threatening to overwhelm the IT team in many organizations. Today, developers may add new applications and virtual server instances by the hundreds per day without accounting for the restrictions of the existing backup infrastructure. They leverage the cloud for immediate compute and storage resources, yet rarely communicate succinctly with corporate IT to ensure that the appropriate data protection services are in place.
