Broadband subscribers expect high speed, high availability, and a low cost. Meeting those expectations, more effectively and efficiently than your competition, is an ongoing challenge.

Your broadband services are only as fast and available as the underlying infrastructure – which is why you need commercial-grade DNS and DHCP solutions from Nominum.

The leading telcos and service providers worldwide use Nominum’s authoritative and caching name servers because of their superior performance and reliability. Nominum's DNS servers are the fastest in their class, delivering five to ten times better throughput than existing solutions on the the same hardware, therefore providing headroom to support subscriber growth and absorb spike in traffics caused by denial of service attacks (DoS), worms and viruses.

In addition, Nominum’s DHCP servers offer a full implementation of the IETF protocol - including the most recent failover protocol standard, so subscribers can always connect quickly and receive the right network configuration information.

Nominum's Caching Name Server (CNS), Authoritative Name Server (ANS), and Dynamic Configuration Server (DCS) deliver the following benefits to your broadband network:

• Reduced operational costs through server consolidation
• Fast network performance with the industry’s fastest DNS and DHCP servers
• Resilient performance under load, whether due to legitimate traffic, attacks, or traffic spikes generated by viruses and worms
• Real-time updates for always-on services
