Industrial TMS-4000 Network Security Appliance

Arbor TMS-4000 is a chassis-based network security appliance designed for large-scale DoS mitigation at the network edge. It ships as a TMS-4000 chassis populated with PSM-40, APM-E, and MCM-C blades, enabling flexible deployment in data centers or service-provider networks. When configured with up to four APM-E blades, the system delivers up to 40 Gbps of mitigation capacity, enabling real-time threat detection and rapid policy enforcement across traffic streams. The MCM-C module provides centralized management and control for the blade lineup, while the PSM-40 blade handles the policy and protection orchestration that coordinates mitigation actions across the chassis. This architecture supports inline traffic protection and scalable performance, making the TMS-4000 suitable for environments requiring robust DoS protection and reliable traffic mitigation. Typical deployments include large-scale network edge protection for service providers and enterprises dealing with volumetric attack events, where precise rate-based filtering and rapid response help minimize service disruption.
