"DNS is a critical component of our infrastructure. End-users rely on Bitpipe for access to the most comprehensive information technology research and we know from first-hand experience that less fault-tolerant DNS infrastructures than the platform UltraDNS provides can contribute to network downtime as well as significant DNS management challenges," said Eric Mabley, Vice President of Operations of Bitpipe. "The decision to move to UltraDNS was an easy one as we are always investigating ways to improve the end-user experience and increase network reliability." "Bitpipe requires 100 percent uptime for both its own website and the content that it distributes throughout the Internet," said Jeffrey Samuels, Director of Marketing of UltraDNS.
