Web infrastructure services firm, Afilias, has expanded its technology with a new Managed DNS Service to help affiliations with handling Web traffic.
John Kane, VP of Company Services for Afilias remarked, ”For most corporations, DNS is urgent, but it’s not their core competency. Afilias’ Managed DNS service permits bodies to have the quietness of depending on an expert to make sure that their site never goes down.”. Afilias Managed DNS leverages Afilias’ existing worldwide DNS network that already supports vital pieces of the Net’s infrastructure in its registry services business. A web domain registry for 8 years, Afilias supports over 14,000,000 domain names across fifteen top-level domains, including some of the planet’s biggest domains like .info and .org. This highly secure and proved DNS network is now available on a stand-alone basis at competitive rates, permitting non-registry purchasers to upgrade to world class service whilst saving money – a key benefit in the present commercial environment. Afilias’ state of the art DNS network makes sure security and resiliency through a various design that no other service supplier can duplicate. The network is further fortified by supplemental external DNS support that enlarges Afilias’ own resolution systems. Afilias’ mesh network now includes 18 locations across 5 continents and is intended to protect against cyber-attacks, with no regard for the origin.
Mr Kane added, ”Afilias’ Managed DNS Services are good for setups that wish to guarantee one hundred pc uptime of their internet site, are annoyed by the difficult pricing plans of other suppliers, and who need more control over and transparency into their DNS traffic.”.
Afilias’ Managed DNS Service offers customers an industry-leading net portal to control their account, a full reporting suite with lots of standard near real time reports and graphs, and reinforced security services to stop account hijacking.
DNSSEC adoption has been slowed during the past by these expensive and complicated stumbling blocks, but Afilias has solved these issues.
Automated creation of the general public / private keys needed for DNSSEC. Easy coordination with participating ICANN-accredited registrars sponsoring the domains to be signed. Distribution of public keys to parent sectors, Trust Anchor Repositories and DNSSEC Look-Aside Validation ( DLV ) registries. Mr Kane added, ”Afilias is uniquely positioned to leverage our DNSSEC technology, already selected to power the DNSSEC enablement for .org, and our existing relationships with ICANN accredited registrars to supply this full end-to-end managed service. Afilias’ solution makes it likely for bodies or regime agencies to have the safety of DNSSEC and the convenience of easy management, all mixed solution.”.
DNS Security Extensions ( DNSSEC ) was first introduced in the mid-1990s as an extra security measure to guard the DNS from cache poisoning exploits which can permit a bad actor to get in the middle of a web users’ request to access a site without their data. The custom officially became an RFC in 2005. In 2008, the general public Interest Registry commented that, with their technical services supplier Afilias, they’d sign .org. Also in 2008, the US Office of Management and Budget issued a remit for .mil and .gov to be signed.
The US Office of Commerce is at present considering implications of signing the official Net Root. Afilias is a worldwide supplier of Net infrastructure services that connect folk to their info. Afilias’ trustworthy, secure, scalable, and worldwide available technology supports a large range of applications including Net domain registry services, Managed DNS, and services in the RFID and supply chain market with its Afilias Discovery Services.
