Massive cyber-crime attempt reaching 1.6 Tbps thwarted by Gcore, no impact on customer service
LUXEMBOURG, Nov. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Gcore — a European provider of public cloud and edge computing, content delivery, hosting, security, and AI solutions — earlier this month combatted two consecutive DDoS attacks against a customer, which was able to maintain its services seamlessly throughout.

The attacks, which were against a gaming company, were conducted using novel techniques and reach up to 1.6Tbit/s, had the power to overwhelm the company’s servers with traffic, effectively taking them offline.
The approach, which involved using random UDP source ports, suggests that the attackers were aiming to evade conventional filtering mechanisms. However, they also concealed their identity by forging source IP addresses. The first, short-lived, attack attempted to flood the company’s network with data, while the second was TCP-based and spanned almost nine hours.
Gcore’s DDoS Protection was able to neutralise both cyber attempts using a combination of dynamic traffic shaping, anomaly detection and quarantine, implementing custom regular expression-based filters and access to collaborative threat intelligence.
“By any measure, a DDoS attack of more than 1.5 Tbps is huge and represents a major threat to any company,” said Andre Reitenbach, CEO at Gcore. “We tap into a range of front-line defences that not only allow us to thwart attacks, but also ensure online services are uninterrupted. For this customer, we prevented any damage to their system and their reputation but what the attack demonstrates is that we are facing increasingly clever approaches from cyber criminals looking for ways to bypass cyber-security protections.”
The most recent Gcore Radar Report (Q1 & Q2 2023), which provides insights into the current state of the DDoS protection market and cybersecurity trends, found a dramatic increase in DDoS attacks across multiple industries. At the beginning of 2023, the average strength of attacks reached 800 Gbps, but this number has now doubled. The most common form of attack was a UDP flood attack, and during the first half of this year, the longest duration of attack was over seven days. Most attacks, the report found, lasted less than four hours.
Gcore has provided its customers with resilient, fast and secure cloud and edge computing services, and a global content delivery network since 2014.
About Gcore Gcore is an international leader in public cloud and edge computing, AI, content delivery, hosting, and security solutions. Headquartered in Luxembourg, with a staff of 550+ operating from 12 bases worldwide, the company provides its solutions to global leaders in numerous industries.

Compact Solutions, Mighty Results: Cervoz Unleashes the Power of Edge Computing

Published

TAIPEI, May 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Cervoz Technology, a leader in industrial-grade storage, memory, and expansion solutions, is powering the evolution of edge computing with its innovative solutions.

In today’s data-rich landscape, businesses rely on insights from IoT devices. With advancements in AI and 5G, data volumes surge, straining traditional cloud computing with bandwidth and latency issues. Edge Computing emerges as a solution, processing data at its source for real-time insights crucial for applications like digital twins, autonomous vehicles, and smart healthcare.
What is Edge Computing?
Edge Computing is a decentralized IT architecture that processes data near its origin, often at the network’s edge. This approach divides tasks from central data centers to edge devices and nodes. It enables faster, deeper insights and enhances responsiveness, improving speed and reducing latency compared to centralized clouds. Typically, an Edge Computing system comprises three layers: device, edge, and cloud.
The Device Layer
The device layer, situated closest to the physical world, comprises endpoint devices such as sensors, controllers, and cameras, among others. The layer prioritizes data collection and initial processing for real-time response and efficiency. It requires highly reliable, compact, and energy-efficient components. Cervoz’s M.2 2230 (A+E key /B+M key) NVMe SSDs and DDR4 SO-DIMM modules optimize this setup with fast data access and efficient storage in space-saving designs. They operate reliably across a wide temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) and feature additional conformal coating and anti-vibration filling for enhanced performance in harsh environments.
The Edge Layer
The edge layer, composed of edge servers and gateways, serves as a crucial link between device-layer data sources and cloud-based operations. It is designed for extensive data handling, filtering, and analytics, emphasizing quick operations and real-time responses to minimize reliance on remote data centers. For optimal performance, components must manage high processing loads with minimal latency and maximum stability. NVMe SSDs boasting PCIe Gen3 or higher, such as the Cervoz NVMe PCIe Gen3x4 SSD, with compact M.2 form factors, advanced DRAM cache buffer, and LDPC ECC technology, are perfectly suited for the edge layer. These SSDs enable efficient directory and error correction during high-speed data transfers, thus enhancing data accuracy and reliability.
The Cloud Layer
The cloud layer requires intensive processing and long-term storage, performing analytics, operating AI and machine learning, and managing extensive data systems across various edge locations. It demands high-performing and reliable components. Cervoz NVMe PCIe Gen4x4 SSDs excel with Read/Write speeds of up to 7,100/6,190 MB/s and 4K random IOPS up to 1,000K, with aluminum heatsinks and thermal throttling for overheating issues. DDR5-5600 DRAM boosts this setup with high data throughput and efficient power use, satisfying rigorous computational needs.
Interlayer Connectivity
Reliable, low-latency network connectivity is crucial as data flows between the device layer, edge, and cloud. Cervoz 10GbE Low-Profile Ethernet Card provides high-speed, stable wired connections in high-bandwidth, low-latency environments. Additionally, the new PCIe Compact Low-Profile Ethernet Card is ideal for narrow edge device enclosures. For areas where wiring is impractical, M.2 Wi-Fi cards offer essential wireless flexibility. These connectivity options ensure a solid foundation for seamless data management across all layers.
Cervoz offers comprehensive solutions to enhance edge computing capabilities. From compact NVMe SSDs and DRAM modules, to advanced modular expansion cards, enabling seamless integration, optimized performance, and unmatched reliability in edge computing deployments.
About Cervoz
Based in Taiwan, Cervoz Technology boasts almost twenty years of expertise in developing and providing industrial-grade storage, memory, and expansion solutions across a myriad of global industrial sectors.
