DNS is at the heart of the global internet infrastructure as a mission-critical component needed for ensuring that customers and partners can find your website and send and receive email. As more and more business transactions have migrated to the internet, the demanding need for security, high performance and constant availability of services requires the dedicated support of a managed DNS service provider.
The Neustar UltraDNS® service is the top Managed DNS Service provider for over 3000 enterprises worldwide that powers well-known internet brands such as Amazon.com, Gap.com, Myspace.com, and Oracle.com amongst others.
Neustar UltraDNS helps enterprises manage external and internal DNS with no investments in hardware and
software — enabling you to optimize your DNS infrastructure to improve your customer’s experience and productivity
UltraDNS is maintained on carrier-class Tier I backbone with fifteen data centers on all five continents to provide enterprises with a scalable managed solution to administer their DNS services in a global, high-performance, secure and fault-tolerant network environment.
The UltraDNS managed DNS service offers significant benefits over traditional ISP-administered or company-administered DNS including:
DNS requests are sent to the nearest topologically available network node through IP Anycast to deliver high-speed name resolution unlike traditional DNS services which route requests randomly.
Data updates on your domains are propagated in near real-time through replication unlike the 24-48 hour timeframe regular DNS typically takes.
It protects against cache poisoning a notable flaw in the DNS which allows cybercriminals to forge DNS responses to divert web traffic, email, and other important network data in order to steal information.
A secure web-based management portal provides IT administrators with easy-to-use graphical tools to administer DNS information whether its adding a new domain or modifying the Time To Live (TTL) settings of a DNS resource record.
UltraDNS integrates intelligent global traffic management solution options at the DNS level such as:
Directional DNS allows you to send your visitors to geographic-specific servers to offer customized content. Geolocation also enhances the performance and speed of web-sites by distributing traffic.
SiteBacker leverages a mesh of global agents to monitor mission-critical servers and in the event of server failure to route traffic to hot standby servers for automatic IP fail-over. This ensures that customer services are never affected.
Traffic Controller offers global traffic shaping by optimizing traffic distribution and network performance automatically across multiple servers. This allows cost-effective load-balancing without the need for using multiple data centers and improves infrastructure security, resilience and bandwidth efficiency.
