Our client, a publicly traded telecommunications interoperability services provider, delivers critical Domain Name System (DNS) service, a distributed secure encrypted redirection service that converts domain names into IP addresses. Domain names are alphabetic and easy to read and remember for Internet users, however, the Internet is really based on IP addresses. Every time a domain name is used, a DNS service must convert the name into the corresponding IP address. Our client's DNS services are an essential component for the functionality of the Internet and facilitate the uninterrupted flow of Internet traffic for over 20 million domains using:
- Managed authoritative DNS service,
- Recursive DNS service,
- Geo-Locational traffic routing
- Global monitoring services
The Challenge: The DNS solution platform runs on nearly 300+ high end servers, with 4000 enterprise customers relying on these systems to achieve 100% uptime for their DNS infrastructure. The mission critical nature of this service demands 24/7/365 support. Providing this support cost-effectively was a challenge.
