Amica, which has moved many of its business applications online, says it selected UntralDNS's platform to enhance network security and manageability, enabling it to improve the reliability of its online claim reporting and insurance quoting services.

With UltraDNS managed services, Amica will also able to protect its customers from Internet security vulnerabilities, including pharming and network threats. A management portal enables Amica to modify DNS records and have the changes propagated globally in near real time. 

"The manageability and network security of the UltraDNS service were key criteria in making the decision to move to UltraDNS. We gain all the advantages of a managed service while retaining granular control over our DNS records," says Ron Rivet, network operations manager for Amica. "The UltraDNS user portal allows us to delegate responsibility of domains to various users, making it easy for our administrators to publish DNS changes and manage our entries across the organization."
