Oakland Raiders Sign with UltraDNS to Strengthen Infrastructure

NFL team makes move to significantly enhance website performance

BRISBANE, Calif., January 20, 2004 -- UltraDNS™ Corporation, the world's leading Managed DNS Service Provider, today announced that the Oakland Raiders (www.raiders.com) have selected UltraDNS' Managed DNS (Domain Name Service) to enhance its website performance and availability. The move to UltraDNS supports the NFL team's website as the Raiders continue to prioritize the Internet as a means of communicating with the fans.

The Raiders join a growing list of over 8,000 companies and organizations that have looked to UltraDNS in order to realize the advantages of enhanced DNS manageability and performance while benefiting from a 100% network uptime SLA (Service Level Availability) guarantee.

"We needed a robust DNS solution to enable us to grow our website and accommodate the increase in traffic especially during the playoffs and Super Bowl", said Tom Blanda, director of finance and technology for the Oakland Raiders. "UltraDNS enabled a seamless migration of our web-presence to a new co-location provider due to their ability to propagate DNS changes globally in 2 minutes."

The foundation for all UltraDNS solutions is the Directory Services Platform - a unique combination of patented, proprietary technologies and innovations that contain the building blocks used to create both managed directory service solutions and custom infrastructure solutions. One of the directories layered on top of this platform, Managed DNS, is comprised of a product suite of five service offerings that improve the performance, manageability, scalability, and security over legacy DNS solutions; namely BIND. Prior to UltraDNS, the Oakland Raiders utilized an outsourced BIND based solution that could not provide for 100% uptime and did not scale to meet the demands of their business.

"The Raiders organization takes great measures to ensure DNS reliability as part of an overall focus on security and performance of their digital brand," said Ben Petro, president and CEO of UltraDNS. "The Oakland Raiders are among a growing set of progressive organizations to invest in technology solutions that bulletproof their DNS infrastructure".
