High-defense servers can help websites counter denial-of-service attacks, while regular checks of existing network nodes are needed to identify potential security weaknesses. Typically, defense capabilities range from 20G to several hundred G. Servers in China and the US frequently face large-scale attacks, leading to the development of many high-defense data centers and servers. But why are such high-defense servers scarce in Hong Kong, with many restrictions on defense conditions?
- Hong Kong high-defense servers have extremely high bandwidth requirements
First, servers defending against traffic attacks consume a large amount of bandwidth. Compared to overseas regions, Hong Kong's overall international export bandwidth is relatively small, resulting in insufficient bandwidth at various data centers. Therefore, servers with traffic protection are uncommon in Hong Kong. Traditional Hong Kong high-defense servers rely on the data center's hardware firewalls and substantial bandwidth for defense, which imposes high demands on the data center's bandwidth. Only a very few large data centers can meet this level, limiting the number of available high-defense data centers.
- Hong Kong high-defense servers are expensive
The combined hardware and software defense against traffic attacks undoubtedly increases data center operating costs, leading to high prices. High prices do not guarantee effective defense, causing many users to hesitate. The reduction in users negatively impacts data center development, creating a vicious cycle.
- Hong Kong high-defense servers have weak defense capabilities
Due to insufficient bandwidth, most Hong Kong high-defense servers rely on the data center's hardware firewall for defense, affecting their defense capabilities. Typically, the defense capacity is only between 5G and 30G, which is not enough to cope with the increasingly severe large-scale network attacks of the current era. Facing traditional DDoS attacks, if the bandwidth is only 2G and the attacker uses 200G, it will inevitably lead to network paralysis. Therefore, Hong Kong's high-defense servers cannot provide stronger defense capabilities, thus failing to meet user needs. This has given rise to the saying "no high defense in Hong Kong." Traditional Hong Kong high-defense servers have weak defense and low market recognition, making them difficult to popularize.
Nevertheless, where there is demand, suppliers will emerge. Although the number of high-defense servers in Hong Kong is limited, there are still several high-defense options with good defense effects. For example, Houlangyun's Hong Kong high-defense servers use CN2 GIA channels to counter 10G Asia and 1000G Europe and America traffic attacks, and can customize higher bandwidth and defense plans as needed. They perform unified local traffic cleaning to ensure the access speed of customer websites, making them an ideal choice for users under traffic attacks.
