If you get some serious DDOS, you're still dead.
Those boxes usually handle about 100 MBIT/s of traffic, some may handle 500 MBIT/s well.
This firewall is NO DDOS PROTECTION!
It's nice to toy to analyze your traffic closer and to do some port filtering, but don't expect it to perform miracles.██ • Dedicated Servers in Europe and Asia: http://www.server.lu •

Waste of money if you ask me. If you're looking to stop DDoS attacks lets face it 450mbps is NOTHING. The Cisco line-up that OVH offers is just a waste of space to most people.

It depends which ASA you get but as the two others have already warned you, even if you'd take a 5520, it can only take up to ~450Mbps of traffic which when you are under a DDoS is generally very small. If you are looking for anti DDoS solution, you shouldn't be looking for a physical firewall but for a DDoS protection service instead.
