Abstract
An apparatus for preventing data traffic overload of a customer enterprise network in a networked computing system includes a plurality of data centers, each of the data centers being in operative communication with one another via a secure connection. The data centers form at least one floating gateway for providing a distributed interface between a public network and an Internet Protocol (IP) interface of the customer enterprise network, the IP interface of the customer enterprise network being inaccessible using a public IP address. The apparatus further includes at least one controller in operative communication with the data centers. The controller is configured to synchronize state information among the data centers and to control ingress and egress data traffic for each of the data centers.
