July 31, 2001 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — UltraDNS Corp. (ultradns.com), a leading directory infrastructure services provider (DISP) that provides mission-critical directory reliability and performance, today announced that
r
Verado (verado.com) has
r
selected UltraDNS’ managed DNS service to support its
r
outsourced managed services and data center solution
r
offerings for businesses nationwide.
r
r
The UltraDNS managed DNS Service is a fully
r
integrated, outsourced service for the Internet’s
r
Domain Name System (DNS) that is designed to help
r
ensure that Web users are reliably connected to their
r
Internet destination.
r
r
DNS forms the first link in the chain of events that
r
connects an Internet user to a Web site. By
r
translating the name typed into a browser to an IP
r
address, DNS touches virtually every Internet
r
transaction.
r
r
Verado, a provider of outsourced managed hosting,
r
professional services and data center solutions,
r
delivers its services over an advanced communications
r
network that enables it to provide cost-effective
r
services to a range of customers on its own network
r
backbone.
r
r
Verado recently completed its nationwide network
r
enhancement that connects each of its data centers and
r
provides the centers with access to a wide variety of
r
peering and transit partners for a redundant,
r
high-speed connection on its backbone using multiple
r
OC-3 and higher capability connections. Verado’s
r
Cisco Powered Network is expandable
r
up to OC-48 connections and is also a Cisco content
r
services designated network capable of carrying large
r
volumes of data across its backbone.
r
r
Hosted on a global network of servers, UltraDNS’
r
managed DNS Service solves the reliability,
r
performance and security limitations inherent in
r
today’s DNS systems. The Service employs advanced
r
fail-over mechanisms to help ensure that all DNS
r
queries are processed and every Web user reliably
r
connected.
r
r
By using advanced routing technologies, all DNS
r
queries are sent to the closest available server in
r
the UltraDNS network, enabling customers to experience
r
the fastest possible Web site response.
r
r
“Verado’s customers have e-business operations that
r
require high levels of Web reliability,” said Ray
r
Stephens, executive director marketing of UltraDNS.
r
“Our managed DNS Service is tailor-made for companies
r
like Verado. We help our customers grow their services
r
while simultaneously maintaining the reliability that
r
their customers need.”
