Redwood City, Calif., – July 15, 2008 — Nominum, the leading provider of
network naming and addressing technologies, announced today that ONO, a
broadband provider in Spain, has selected Nominum’s carrier-grade DNS as the
foundation for its broadband Internet access service.
With more than 1.2 million subscribers and a network that spans the country, ONO
recognized that the subscriber Internet experience is dependent on DNS
performance and made the decision to upgrade their DNS. Nominum was the only
vendor that offered the performance, resilience, protection against security
threats, and availability that would ensure the secure and quality Internet user
experience ONO has become known for.
With the upgrade, more than 90% of the DNS traffic is handled by
three Nominum DNS servers. The previously deployed open source based solution
required a larger server hardware footprint, and accommodating future DNS and
Internet traffic growth was going to require the addition of even more servers
on a regular basis.
"The broadband market is extremely competitive and ONO has
differentiated by offering the best Internet access services available today. To
ensure that we continue to grow and lead the market we made a decision to
upgrade our DNS infrastructure," said Carlos Moreno, CIO of ONO. "With Nominum
software, our network is faster and simpler; more importantly, we are positioned
to take advantage of DNS based service offerings from Nominum in the future that
further improve our users’ Internet experience".
"Nominum’s carrier grade DNS allows providers to thrive as more
subscribers use Web 2.0 applications on their networks," said Tom Tovar, CEO of
Nominum. "We are in a unique position to help carriers and service providers
around the world fortify their networks and build value added DNS-based
subscriber services that improve the user experience and fortify the bottom
line".
