Creating New Ways to Find People: UltraDNS Launches Operator.com

Online Directory Operator.com Delivers VoIP Capabilities While Showcasing the Dynamic Database Skills of UltraDNS

SAN MATEO, Calif. November 13, 2001 -- UltraDNS™ Corporation, a Directory Infrastructure Services Provider (DISP) that guarantees mission-critical directory reliability and performance, today announced the launch of Operator.com, a useful consumer and business-to-business resource portal for directory information. The new portal represents a proof of concept by UltraDNS and an extension to its Directory Services Platform capabilities, by converging directory information and connectivity, including Voice-over IP (VoIP).

Operator.com will deliver address and number (traditional, VoIP, and ENUM) listings and other relevant information while also providing VoIP capability. Operator.com will provide users the complete control to manage the privacy and security of the data and preferences made available, allowing users to selectively display the information they want revealed publicly. Additionally, the database utilizes both infrastructure and client-based security measures to prevent unauthorized access.

"The delivery of Operator.com and one of the first ever converged directory systems illustrates not only the true capabilities of our directory infrastructure, but it demonstrates that UltraDNS is a directory service provider with the commitment and versatility to enable new and exciting technology platforms of the future," said Ben Petro, CEO and president of UltraDNS.

Operator.com's VoIP capability is made possible by Operator.com's user interface and UltraDNS's underlying technology allowing visitors to utilize UltraDNS's flexible and high-capacity database systems. The responsive Operator.com database was designed by UltraDNS with the scalability to handle millions of entries to its database. Operator.com will undergo constant growth and improvements to provide a new level of manageability for next generation converged services. Eventually, this database will be extended to encompass publicly available information such as credit information, better business ratings, census information and mapping capabilities.

Operator.com is the precursor to a larger converged services directory initiative in the area of convergence of voice and data including an upcoming launch of Locator.com, an IP location tool.
