“Most users, and even IT professionals, are not aware of the importance and impact of DNS to ensure connectivity,” says Thruport CTO David Moser. “In fact, DNS lookup – the fundamental process by which an Internet address is converted into a physical IP address – constitutes the second most frequent reason for user connection failure. We spent several months looking for DNS solutions that would create real value for our customers, and UltraDNS is the best.”
