Recognizing the importance of competitive gaming and esports, where sponsorships, prize money and reputations are on the line, OVHCloud has customized its DDoS protection for popular game servers.
OVHCloud also offers DDoS protection on all its hosting options and includes a default anti-DDoS policy configured as a default.
For users that require more advanced and customizable DDoS protection, OVHCloud includes an application programming interface that allows for control and monitoring of the DDoS platform.
Should any user selections fail to mitigate an incoming DDoS attack, protection will continue to escalate to keep applications running.
This provides a nice balance of allowing users flexibility in designing their DDoS protection while also providing escalating protection should the user's configuration prove inadequate.
Capabilities like OVHCloud's include DDoS protection can be the tilt factor that differentiates one provider from the next.
