Hello!
I wanted to personally write a status and update our customers and vendors of the current status of our two newest editions to the ServerOrigin Communications brand. I have been asked several times over, “Just where is it?!”. It’s here, it’s coming, and it’s going to be one of the most incredible examples of how even in 2011 – companies can still be innovative and shine new light on old technologies.

CloudCDN™ Status:
As you know we have announced our new CDN technology known as CloudCDN™. We should have the website and service available for full use in 14 days. The website will be located at: http://www.cloudcdn.com
** Please keep a close check as we will have some incredible deals as part of our product launch!

I wanted to provide a quick teaser of what’s to come in the CloudCDN™ Control Panel:

RouteShield™:
RouteShield™ is our newest product set to launch within 6-months! We have had this product under a strictly confidential status for over 12-months while in development. We will not be releasing a lot of details just yet but let’s say that ethProxy has it’s places at the port level and not just remote protection! We are combining a special purpose firewall, L4/L7 mitigation, IDS, and instant PCI-compliance all under one umbrella! More information will be released in the near future.

Keep an eye out on http://www.routeshield.com as more information is released.

Warmest Regards,

3Crowd Provides Technology Stack Behind ServerOrigin’s CloudCDN

SAN MATEO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–3Crowd Technologies, the technology company defining the future of content delivery, and ServerOrigin Communications jointly announce the release of CloudCDN, a Content Delivery Networking (CDN) service offered by ServerOrigin to its customers based on 3Crowd’s CrowdDirector™ and CrowdCache™ technology stack. ServerOrigin is now leveraging its global and robust network presence to offer its customers a worldwide, scalable and cost effective CDN solution in addition to their already successful DDoS protection services.

“ServerOrigin’s bandwidth capacity is comparable to many small countries”
This new Content Delivery service launched by ServerOrigin constitutes a double value proposition: leveraging a global footprint of datacenters, immense bandwidth capacity and excess computing power from their existing DDoS product lines, while at the same time answering the increasing demand of their existing customer base for CDN services.

This announcement illustrates 3Crowd’s ability to enable today’s hosting companies to maximize and better monetize their existing infrastructure, provide new turnkey solutions to their customers, while reducing both time to deploy and time to market.

3Crowd’s tool set provides hosting providers with the instant benefits and all the necessary features of a global, highly distributed content caching network through CrowdCache™, as well as the flexibility of operating it with great simplicity and control with CrowdDirector™.

3Crowd’s CEO Barrett Lyon says, “We are very excited to support ServerOrigin’s product launch as their need for a new Content Delivery Service product and their existing global infrastructure are a perfect match for our CrowdCache™ and CrowdDirector™ toolset. By repeating this working model with our current Hosting Provider customers, 3Crowd will achieve its goal of shifting the paradigm of Content Delivery over the Internet.”

“ServerOrigin’s bandwidth capacity is comparable to many small countries,” Kevin Hatfield, of ServerOrigin, says. “Our infrastructure runs at less than 10% utilization at any given time. This solution allows us to monetize the excess bandwidth while seamlessly integrating a complete content delivery solution. Imagine uploading your web content and serving the website direct through the CDN solution. No longer do you require additional servers or transit, we will cache your data and provide you all the bandwidth you need without the need to add a single piece of equipment. A few providers attempt this now but the costs associated are out of reach for the majority of the small business market. ServerOrigin intends to get pricing down under $.10/GB with at least 30GB of free storage space. In our opinion, we are considering this as much a carrier-grade solution as an end-user service.”

This is the first time companies can look at a ‘CDN’ solution and compare it directly to purchasing additional infrastructure or transit. This is the exact definition of what cloud hosting should be, the ability to push a button and increase overall website or application capacity for pennies on the dollar.

3Crowd’s goal is to lead the effort in putting untapped infrastructure and bandwidth resources to better use, allowing their customers to make the Internet more scalable, more resilient, better performing while introducing new revenue streams.

About 3Crowd Technologies

Abstract: ServerOrigin sustained a brief network outage resulting from an unforeseen error in the DDoS filtering array which caused connectivity issues for many users.

Cause: A scheduled upgrade for the expansion of the filtering array including additional bandwidth links from Peer1. During installation traffic was moved from the primary array to the secondary. Once moved all filtering continued but on reduced bandwidth. ServerOrigin encountered multiple DDoS attacks saturating the backup array and causing intermittent connectivity and dropped packets.

Resolution: Traffic was re-routed through the primary and secondary filtering arrays with the changes saved for completion tomorrow during non-peak hours. No further downtime or intermittent connectivity is expected.

We apologize for the brief connectivity issues seen lately and we want to assure you that we are aware and working to resolve it. The end of 2010 and the beginning of 2011 has brought larger attacks with higher PPS rates which appear to be able to sustain for longer periods of time than averages seen prior to last quarter ’10. Due to the volume and demand for protection ServerOrigin continues to upgrade and add additional infrastructure but it’s a moving target and one that requires live upgrades. Even with thorough testing and check-out, there is always possibility for something not going according to plan and as much as we try to avoid that, we have seen several cases lately where things simply did not go according to plan.

We thank you as a ServerOrigin customer for your patience and support. This upgrade will bring an additional 100% of overall bandwidth and filtering capacity to handle recent and future growth. Once completed, many of the issues seen over the past few weeks should be fully resolved. Scheduled completion is by Thursday night. We will notify you if any connectivity issues are planned. No downtime is planned for the upcoming maintenance.

Customers can take advantage of this offer and will continue to receive the discount for as long as they keep the plan.

We thank you for being a ServerOrigin customer and look forward to serving you throughout the New Year!

ethProxy Subscribers: ethProxy customers are provided fully automated DNS failover and redundancy to one of our other facilities. *IF* you allow ServerOrigin to manage your DNS via our AnyCast DNS service then you will be automatically re-routed to an alternate facility. We will also move customers proactively prior to the changes. If you are not currently taking advantage of this free service,  please notify us or make the appropriate changes so we can handle the DNS failover.

Abstract:  ServerOrigin currently maintains critical infrastructure in two suites at 600 W. 7th St, Los Angeles, CA: Suite 420 (Peer1) and Suite 130 (TelX). Over the course of one week critical infrastructure and some equipment leased to customers will be consolidated into Suite 130. There will be downtime associated with this maintenance; the exact amount will vary from customer to customer with a total impact of 5 – 30 minutes per customer for the entire week.

This is a preliminary notice and there may be changes to the following timeline as we move closer to the maintenance window:

Chronology:

05 DEC 2010, 3PM – 10PM, U.S. Pacific: Many cloud hosted services such as DDoS protection proxies and all Cloud VM instances will be offline during a physical equipment move within this window not expected to exceed 30 minutes. Any such instances should not experience further substantial issues outside of this window.

06 DEC 2010, 12PM – 4PM, U.S. Pacific: There will be edge router maintenance during this period not expected to result in service impact.

07 DEC 2010, 8AM – 10PM U.S. Pacific: There will be a substantial amount of routing changes and physical relocation of edge routers and DDoS mitigation appliances. Service impact is not expected, however, this change is considered high risk and unexpected outages could occur. Our Telia transit will be offline during currently undetermined periods due to local loop maintenance.

08 DEC 2010, 7AM – 5PM: Many customer leased servers will be relocated, resulting in a service impact not expected to exceed 30 minutes per server.

09 DEC 2010, 7AM – 5PM: Many customer leased servers will be relocated, resulting in a service impact not expected to exceed 30 minutes per server.

10 DEC 2010, 8AM – 10PM U.S. Pacific: This window is reserved for final routing changes, network testing, and quality assurance. Service impact is not expected at this time.

11 DEC 2010, 8AM – 10PM U.S. Pacific: This window is reserved for quality assurance and last minute changes. Service impact is not expected at this time.

Abstract:  We anticipate bringing up the BGP session for a new circuit to PCCW during this maintenance window. A recently installed edge router will become fully operational at that time.

Chronology: Timing will depend upon coordination with the PCCW NOC. A more specific window is not available at this time.

No impact should be seen during this maintenance.

Virginia Beach, VA (Vocus) October 5, 2010

Black Lotus, a leading distributed denial of service (DDoS) protection services company, announced today its new partnership with ServerOrigin Communications. The Black Lotus/ServerOrigin partnership offers customers the ability to experience DDoS protection and mitigation capabilities beyond the traditional scope of DDoS protection services. Additionally, the Black Lotus/ServerOrigin partnership offers customers robust, high capacity, enterprise grade DDoS protection solutions with the ability to generate enhanced network integrity, cost reduction opportunities, and significant productivity gains.

“ServerOrigin prides itself in creative partnerships that provide more ROI for our customers,” says Kevin Hatfield, Director of Operations of ServerOrigin. “Denial-of-service is becoming a fast growing problem with average attack sizes increasing every year. The partnership with Black Lotus allows us to take advantage of the knowledge and expertise that has made Black Lotus the well-known brand that it is today. By working together with Black Lotus, we are mixing two of the best brands in the DDoS protection host industry to create a service where the customer truly benefits in terms of service and price for DDoS protected hosting services.”

Black Lotus has officially named ServerOrigin as a Solutions Partner. ServerOrigin will be using Black Lotus’ new MitigationPro appliances by IntruGuard – network behavior analysis appliances designed to stop DDoS attacks. ServerOrigin will also receive IP connectivity from the Black Lotus network in Los Angeles. ServerOrigin will combine internal, proprietary filtering technology and experience with commercially available DDoS protection solutions from Black Lotus.

“Building a network resilient to large-scale DDoS attacks is a tremendous challenge,” says Hatfield. “It requires vast experience, a significant investment, and ongoing upkeep in order to remain stable in the face of multi-Gbps attacks. This is where both the Black Lotus network and MitigationPro appliances shine. Black Lotus has already made a big investment and their infrastructure is a solid building block for us to continue our DDoS protection hosting business while allowing Black Lotus to do what they do best.”

An experienced and trusted DDoS protection host, Black Lotus has been providing DDoS protection services at every level, from DDoS protected dedicated servers to colocation, web hosting DDoS protection, and LotusCloud VM to prevent DDoS attacks. Black Lotus’s DDoS protection network is capable of multi-gigabit DDoS mitigation and can process millions of packets per second from every type of known attack.

“As an industry pioneer, Black Lotus brings over 10 years of DDoS mitigation experience to ServerOrigin in order to allow them to continue their rapid growth as one of the emerging leaders in the DDoS mitigated hosting and protection industry,” says Jeffrey Lyon, Director of Black Lotus. “Black Lotus MitigationPro appliances will allow ServerOrigin to provide DDoS protection hosting services at a savings of at least 53%. This savings can then be passed on to ServerOrigin customers.”

The Black Lotus/ServerOrigin partnership will leverage synergies between Black Lotus technology and ServerOrigin DDoS hosting solutions to market distributed denial of service protection more efficiently and cost effectively, resulting in an improved customer experience. The Black Lotus MitigationPro DDoS platform will also allow Black Lotus and ServerOrigin to work in tandem to defeat new, zero day attacks and botnets.

ServerOrigin Communications released an update for ethProxy DDoS mitigation. More than 3 months of comparison testing shows that ethProxy provides the most accurate DDoS protection in the history of the market.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3 /PRNewswire/ — ServerOrigin Communications (http://www.serverorigin.com) is releasing the newest update for its ethProxy DDoS mitigation service. This update will enable ethProxy to be the first self-learning denial-of-service system on the market, making this the most advanced DDoS protection service available anywhere.

“This is the first time in the mitigation world where a product can be enabled on a site and learn the difference between good and bad traffic coming into a website,” ServerOrigin CEO Kevin Hatfield said. “Until now, providers rely on appliances or custom software which is based on hard limits and thresholds. This update changes the way the consumer should look at protection. We have successfully built a product which will determine anomalies based on normal traffic flow with strictly dynamic rulesets.”

Set up to use ethProxy is easy. Users simply point their domain at the IP Address provided by ServerOrigin Communications. Traffic is then filtered and routed back to the user. The user’s IP will be hidden and guarded behind the proxy solution to filter any malicious traffic before it reaches their server. Only clean, legitimate traffic will be allowed to reach the user’s web site.

“We have a multi-million dollar investment and hundreds of thousands of man-hours building out this solution. We are hands-down, the best,” Hatfield said. “If I didn’t believe it, we would likely be reselling a competitors product or not be in business at all. Instead, we are continually seeing growth of more than 200% each fiscal year in a time where the economy is unstable and many online providers are closing up shop. I believe it speaks directly to our dedication and quality that we bring to the table.”

Along with AnyCast DNS services through a partnership with DNSMadeEasy earlier in the year, the ethProxy service already stands as the giant in the business with fully automated datacenter failover and redundancy across multiple points across the United States, including Seattle, Dallas and Washington, DC. It also has the largest service level agreement from any DDoS mitigation provider, now at a 99.998% guarantee.

About ServerOrigin Communications:

ServerOrigin Communications specializes in enterprise DDoS protection and hosting, while ranking among the top DDoS protection providers worldwide. Services include CDN-based DDoS mitigation, AnyCast DNS, and intrusion detection. ServerOrigin utilizes more than 30 POP locations in the United States and is the premium solution for companies seeking 99.998% service levels with protection against online attacks as large as 30Gbps.
