DNS - DNS Made Easy Unveils Version 2 of Elite Resolution Services

DNS Made Easy, a subsidiary of Tiggee and a provider of enterprise IP anycast DNS services, announced version 2.0 of its proprietary Elite Resolution Services (ERS) platform.

The upgraded Elite Resolution Services platform is designed to provide additional levels of redundancy and features to the DNS Made Easy enterprise DNS services infrastructure.

Offering 99.999 percent DNS uptime with an over eight-year history of 100 percent uptime, DNS Made Easy network is respected as being one of the most reliable enterprise DNS infrastructures in the world, according to company officials.

The second version of the Elite Resolution Services platform is created to address the needs for their growing user base and will allow DNS Made Easy to offer new services and products to their customers, company officials said.

Built on a multi-tiered framework, Elite Resolution Services platform creates localized server redundancy and scalability within the DNS Made Easy enterprise anycast server clusters.

“We are excited at the additional features, redundancy, capacity and scalability that the second version of Elite Resolution Services platform will bring to our DNS Made Easy network,” said David Miller, vice president and CTO of Tiggee, in a statement.

“Offering this level of redundancy and capacity is unmatched in the industry and offers our users a level of DNS service that is unique to our industry segment,” Miller added.

With its localized redundancy feature, Elite Resolution Service platform creates redundant servers within every cluster that are kept constantly updated with DNS Made Easy's cascading fast DNS updates.

If a query load increases or, in the unlikely event, a server experiences a catastrophic failure or DDOS attack, the redundant servers will automatically begin responding to queries.

The local and site redundancy provided by the Elite Resolution Services platform is modeled after the configuration used by many of the most reliable root name servers, company officials said. Version 2.0 is built by further enhancing this proprietary solution to meet the needs of their growing customer base.

Version 2.0 of the Elite Resolution Service will allow DNS Made Easy to offer many advanced features that users require including a geo-specific answer per query, company officials said.

The new Elite Resolution platform will be seamlessly released to all DNS Made Easy Managed DNS customers by the end of Q1 2011, the company announced.

In another recent announcement, DNS Made Easy said it is expanding the global IP anycast network with the addition of over 200 additional name servers at 11 new locations worldwide.
