Steadfast in the News

Black Lotus, a leader in availability security and provider of distributed denial of service (DDoS) protection, today announced its partnership with Steadfast, a Chicago based IT Infrastructure Data Services provider. Under the terms of the partnership, Steadfast will offer Black Lotus enterprise-grade DDoS protection to its customers. Black Lotus uses BGP to remotely deploy its award winning DDoS protection to datacenters and hosting networks like Steadfast while minimizing latency overhead. As a result, Steadfast is able to defend against any type of attack vector to include SYN floods, HTTP, SSL, and DNS attacks through Layer 7. This technology allows Steadfast customers full access to affordable DDoS protection solutions without needing to engage outside vendors.

"Up-time and reliability have always been a major focus of ours and recent highly publicized incidents have made DDoS attacks a major concern for some of our customers," states Karl Zimmerman, President of Steadfast. "We had been looking at DDoS solutions for many years, and ended up deciding that Black Lotus provides the many years of experience and the comprehensive protection that our customers require to give them true peace of mind."

"Under our partnership with Steadfast, its customers now have the option of seamlessly adding DDoS protection to their services in a manner that is cost effective and extremely convenient," states Jeffrey Lyon, President of Black Lotus, "We're very excited to work with a renowned data center operator like Steadfast and are equally excited about the prospect of extending quality DDoS mitigation solutions to Steadfast tenants."
