UltraDNS Increases the Number of IPs To Enhance TLD Services

UltraDNS™ Corporation, the leading provider of DNS infrastructure for the Top-Level Domain (TLD) community, today announced that it is enhancing its network infrastructure to provide TLD customers with new levels of redundancy and security.

"Given the substantial growth we have experienced in the TLD sector, UltraDNS is investing in the stability of the Internet by deploying a network specifically designed to meet the unique requirements of the TLD community," explains Rodney Joffe, Chairman and CTO, UltraDNS.

"UltraDNS has provided Ireland's Internet community and the .ie registry critical DNS infrastructure services for over two years, offering superior network performance, reliability and security," explains Conor Daly, responsible for technical services within IE Domain Registry, Ltd., the organization responsible for the management of Ireland's name space.

Under the new network design, scheduled to be fully operational by November 1st, UltraDNS is deploying a dedicated network of authoritative name servers to support its TLD customer base.

By providing a separate infrastructure for TLD and retail customers, UltraDNS is adding additional redundancy and scalability that will improve the end user experience when querying a TLD that resides on the UltraDNS global network.

The second phase of the network enhancement increases the number of IP addresses and hostnames announced as part of the UltraDNS 'anycast' routing pool.
