Telx has announced that Black Lotus has leveraged Telx’s C³ Cloud Connection Center in Los Angeles, Calif. to strengthen its Distributed Denial of Services  protection and mitigation solutions. By tapping into Telx’s carrier-neutral community of telecommunications service providers via the Telx Connect Portfolio, Black Lotus can select its preferred carriers to quickly and effectively trace the source of network traffic that is often the cause of DDoS attacks.

“An effective, immediate response to a DDOS attack on a customer’s web site is dependent on our ability to work with associated network third parties, such as Internet Service Providers and carriers,” said Jeffrey Lyon, President of Black Lotus. “By colocating our IT infrastructure in Telx’s L.A. facility and leveraging its large array of carrier connectivity choices, Black Lotus has the ability to access vital Tier 1 infrastructure information in a carrier-neutral fashion, helping us better serve our customers and mitigating future DDoS attacks.”
