The Doman Name System is the way resources — for instance, web sites,email addresses, and applications — are located on the Internet. You enter a web site address and the DNS finds the matching IP address. In fact, DNS traffic makes up about a fifth of all Internet traffic: other than web sitetraffic, that’s most of a company’s outbound traffic. Like a Voice Dial app, that matches a voice pattern with a telephone number, its workings are invisible to users. But its operation — and the risks it can present — are critically important to your business.
For personal use, or for smaller companies, the DNS provided by a host ISPis sufficient. But for companies for whom constant Internet access is a partof productivity and revenue, it’s not enough. For you, a DNS directly impacts security, online performance, level of DNS control, employee productivity…and cost.
But for smaller organizations, the cost of an enterprise DNS has been prohibitive — or outweighed by other critical IT priorities. Licenses, hardware costs and maintenance make it a challenge to justify.
Neustar ends that challenge with Ultra Internet Gateway™: a cloud-based DNS developed and run by one of the few select organizations entrusted tomaintain and protect the global DNS.
