Managed External DNS Service, the Company’s product, fully utilizes the Directory Services Platform by keeping customer DNS information up-to-date and available worldwide. It is a completely outsourced, hosted solution that dramatically increases the speed, performance, security and reliability of the Internet.
Additionally, hierarchical manageability provides unprecedented levels of granular control that allows enterprises to manage their DNS according to both business and operational requirements. Consequently, the service provides significantly better performance, manageability, scalability, and security over legacy DNS implementations.
The Managed External DNS Service offers businesses fast, seamless, fail-safe
In July 2008, Dan Kaminsky of Doxpara Research shook the Internet Community when he unveiled a major security vulnerability. Considered by many to be one of the most serious threats ever to face the Internet, the vulnerability occurs within the Internet’s recursive DNS process, which is the first step of all on-line activity.
The Management Portal and API allow customers to change information on the fly and have those changes propagated in near real time. In addition, the Managed External DNS Service provides record-level control of time-to-live (TTL) settings.
Scalable architecture built on a global mesh of servers.The UltraDNS network is maintained on multiple carrier-class Tier I backbone providers and secured in multiple collocation facilities. The Managed External DNS Service is capable of handling a site’s DNS requests, as well as those of the majority of the entire Internet. Customers can leverage the Directory Services Platform to scale their DNS as their business grows. Outsourcing to UltraDNS supports physical and logical diversity.
Proprietary DNS/directory software ensures security and reliability.
Most Internet business-critical functions are supported by a best-effort DNS system delivering sub-optimal reliability-typically implemented using Berkley Internet Name Domain (BIND), an “open source” DNS server application. BIND has a history of security problems such as hijacking, spoofing, viruses, etc. In fact, the SANS Institute reports that that BIND is the number one security vulnerability for Internet servers. Managed DNS Service is built on proprietary technology that solves many of the problems inherent in BIND.
Management Portal provides superior manageability and visibility.
Managed DNS Service provides an advanced web-based interface that automates and simplifies the day-to-day management of DNS data. The management portal is equipped with advanced reporting tools that detail DNS activity for all of a customer’s domains.
