DNS Made Easy Releases V2 of the Elite Resolution Service

admin — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 22:36:30 +0000

IP anycast DNS leader DNS Made Easy releases second version of the Elite Resolution Service providing extra functionality to their clients DNS Made Easy, the world leader in IP Anycast DNS services, announced the release of the second version of their proprietary Elite Resolution Platform services. The upgraded platform will provide additional levels of redundancy and features to the DNS Made Easy enterprise DNS services infrastructure. The DNS Made Easy network is already well respected as being one of the most reliable enterprise DNS infrastructures in the world with a 99.999% DNS uptime history and an over 8 year history of 100% uptime. The Elite Resolution Services platform was originally developed as part of DNS Made Easy’s constant commitment to the improvement of their enterprise DNS services infrastructure. The second version of the Elite Resolution Services platform starts to address the needs for their growing user base and will allow DNS Made Easy to offer new services and products to their customers.

The Elite Resolution Services platform is a multi-tiered framework that creates localized server redundancy and scalability within the DNS Made Easy enterprise anycast server clusters. The localized redundancy provided by the Elite Resolution Service platform creates redundant servers within every cluster that are kept constantly updated with DNS Made Easy’s cascading fast DNS updates. These servers will automatically begin responding to queries if query load increases or in the unlikely event that a server experiences a catastrophic failure or DDOS attack. The site redundancy offered by the Elite Resolution Services platform is provided through the DNS Made Easy enterprise anycast IP network. The Elite Resolution Services platform enables automatic contingencies such that multiple sites can experience catastrophic outages and all of the remaining sites will smoothly take over and share the query load of the down site(s). This proprietary platform is implemented at the core of the DNS Made Easy network and guarantees that queries are always answered locally on the name server cluster nearest to the user making the query.

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. DNS Made Easy engineers have further developed 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.

“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,” stated David Miller, Vice President and CTO, Tiggee. “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. We are very excited to be able to start offering the advanced services given by ERS 2.0.”

Version 2 of the Elite Resolution platform will be seamlessly released to all DNS Made Easy Managed DNS customers by the end of Q1 2011.

DNS Made Easy Confirms Commitment to Maximizing ROI

admin — Mon, 01 Nov 2010 22:32:29 +0000

A second study of data reveals that DNS Made Easy IP Anycast DNS services offer maximum ROI compared to any other IP anycast DNS provider in the industry.

DNS Made Easy, the industry’s leading IP Anycast DNS service provider, announced today their results of their second study researching the costs versus the benefits of choosing their managed DNS service. This study completed by Tiggee LLC compared DNS Made Easy to both in-house solutions and competing IP Anycast providers. Tiggee LLC is the parent company of DNS Made Easy. DNS Made Easy users were surveyed at random in order to generate the results of the study. This is the second such study done by Tiggee LLC to calculate the ROI of the DNS Made Easy services.

“Confirming our commitment of maximizing ROI is our driving force,” stated Steven Job, President of DNS Made Easy. “Our goal is not to only offer the best enterprise DNS services on the planet, but we want to know that we are giving the best ROI for our clients. We treat every client as a partner and we want to see them grow. Offering a service where they are given the freedom to grow without a major financial sacrifice is how we have been able to keep growing exponentially over the past nine years.”

The costs of maintaining servers can vary based upon server requirements. Based upon the specifications required for a normal DNS server, the cost of running two fault tolerant name servers on a somewhat reliable network costs a minimum of $9,000 a year. This does not take into consideration the cost of administration, training, hardware and software, plus any needed repairs or replacements during this time period. Taking all these necessary fees into account, many of the users surveyed estimated the cost of running their own DNS infrastructure starting at $40,000 per year.

In contrast, the DNS Made Easy Enterprise IP Anycast managed DNS service hosts their clients’ domains on over 200 name servers on their IP Anycast nodes located globally. Each one of these IP Anycast nodes offers the DNS Made Easy servers on fault-tolerant, multiple peer networks. This configuration gives a much faster response time and higher redundancy compared to the in-house DNS configurations that most companies can provide with only two servers. The actual cost to recreate an IP Anycast network such as the one supporting DNS Made Easy would not be financially feasible for most companies or even large corporations.

Based on this study with DNS Made Easy users, the risk-adjusted ROI for organizations is over 2,665% with an almost immediate break-even point. As many of the benefits associated with using the IP Anycast services from DNS Made Easy were difficult to measure for this study these numbers were estimated based on the cost of hardware, labor, and lost revenue attributed to downtime.

“The DNS Made Easy IP Anycast service is a perfect way for organizations of any size to get world-class DNS services, previously only available to the big budget corporations,” stated Steven Job. “With premium corporate service priced at $1,499.95 yearly along with smaller scaled solutions as low as $29.95 year, and with DNS Made Easy’s 99.9999% uptime history, DNS Made Easy has positioned itself as being the most reliable and cost-effective IP Anycast DNS provider on the planet.”

Compared to other IP Anycast DNS providers in the marketplace, results from the study showed that DNS Made Easy can often save corporations over 99%. The cost savings experienced by using DNS Made Easy does not reflect at all in the quality of service however. DNS Made Easy has been able to maintain its 100% uptime history throughout many years of exponential growth.

“Being able to maintain 100% uptime history shows the dedication and effort that the DNS Made Easy staff has put into achieving this goal. All of our employees take pride in the services and products that we offer,” Job said.

DNS Made Easy reconfirms their commitment to ReverseDNSTrace.com, a reverse DNS tool for use by network administrators.

DNS Made Easy, the leading IP Anycast managed DNS service provider, reconfirms their commitment of a free web-based tool to assist all system and network administrators in the delegation and configuration of reverse DNS.

This valuable tool can be found at ReverseDNSTrace.com and is offered by DNS Made Easy to all Internet users.

Reverse DNS Trace is helpful for DNS administrators to verify that their reverse DNS zones and PTR records are correct. The tool offered by DNS Made Easy will query for the reverse DNS entry for an IP address and also provides a reverse DNS delegation trace that allows users to see the entire reverse DNS delegation chain for their IP addresses and to see where their reverse DNS may be broken.

“Tools like this are crucial to helping network administrators worldwide,” states Bryan Hughes, Vice President of System Operations at Tiggee. “Many network administrators are often put into situations where they need to troubleshoot reverse DNS and are unable to get access to the correct tools to provide the answers that they need. With ReverseDNSTrace.com administrators are able to get a full report of where their reverse DNS may be broken with just a web browser.”

DNS Made Easy states that one of the most common questions users ask after sign up is how to migrate and configure their reverse DNS zones. This is often due to the many differences in ISP delegation of reverse DNS to authoritative name servers. By providing a tool like this for free to the Internet community it can assist not only customers, but the general population as well.

“Because DNS Made Easy is one of the largest IP Anycast DNS providers in the world and we currently provide reverse DNS for several thousand reverse DNS domains, we understand where users are having issues related to DNS and reverse DNS in particular,” stated Bryan Hughes. “Providing tools like RerverseDNSTrace.com to the public will allow anyone to troubleshoot reverse DNS issues for any host regardless of whether or not they are one of our customers. This tool was originally developed for use by our customers, but we decided to release this to the Internet at large to provide assistance with reverse DNS troubleshooting to the Internet community as a whole.”

DNS Made Easy’s use of IP Anycast routing technology provides low latency in DNS response times from anywhere on the planet. “Our DNS Made Easy customer base includes many international companies that need a DNS provider that answers DNS queries local to where their users are,” stated David Miller, Vice President and CTO, Tiggee. “Adding these additional locations and capacity to our network will increase DNS query performance for our growing customer base world wide and provides the infrastructure necessary to handle expected growth up to query loads exceeding 200 billion queries per day.”

DNS Made Easy Calls on All Executives to Stop Throwing Money Down the Drain

admin — Fri, 29 Oct 2010 22:39:04 +0000

IP Anycast leader DNS Made Easy announces new campaign announced is to grow off of a promotional video the company released near the end of Q-3.

DNS Made Easy, the world leader in IP Anycast DNS, asks “Why throw your money down the drain?” in their new marketing campaign kicked off with a video starring their new animated spokesman Dean S. The campaign compares the prices of competing services to DNS Made Easy, and draws examples from real-world marketing techniques their competitors’ employ.

“The message is clear,” states Steven Job, president of DNS Made Easy. “We’re asking people why they’re spending sometimes thousands of dollars more with our competitors when they can get the same, performance at DNS Made Easy for a fraction of the cost. Since we do not have a dedicated sales team, we can afford to invest nearly 85% of our earnings back into our infrastructure and give our customer’s a network that costs far less than any other enterprise-level provider in the industry. Our company is designed to pay technicians that can build our products and networks, instead of salespeople to sell them. Our customer’s don’t benefit from salespeople.”

The new promotion Is set to launch in the middle of the fourth quarter of 2010 with a promotional page detailing sales practices, prices and other important figures that detail how money is spent by the various companies including DNS Made Easy. The company promises that the promotion will not only increase transparency in the industry as far as prices, technology and performance go, but will also illustrate how their powerful platform and robust feature set are in all ways comparable to any other company in the enterprise level IP Anycast DNS space.

“We are at a point where we are able to tailor our network to fit the needs of most any potential and existing clientele,” stated Steven Job. “We want everyone to see the unbelievable value we’re offering for pennies on the dollar, and get them to stop spending far more than the level of service they’re currently getting is actually worth. It’s time that every company; small business, corporation and hobbyist alike stops throwing their money down the drain, and starts getting what they pay for.”

DNS Made Easy Reconfirms Commitment to Ethical, Non-Aggressive Sales Tactics

admin — Fri, 29 Oct 2010 18:43:58 +0000

DNS Made Easy aims to take the pressure out of sales by eliminating the commissions-based, approach to sales, and reinvesting surplus income into infrastructure.
DNS Made Easy, the world leader in IP Anycast DNS services, is restating their commitment to running the largest IP Anycast network on the planet, and they’re doing it with an ethical and honest sales approach.

“DNS Made Easy’s mission is simple,” stated Steven Job, president of DNS Made Easy. “Build and expand the best DNS network and focus on return on investment, ROI. We focus on building our network and let the services sell themselves. The majority of our business is referral-based for this reason. Our customers’ are satisfied with the service they receive and recommend it to those they fraternize and do business with on a regular basis.”

DNS Made Easy does have people manning the phones for sales calls, but they do not actively cold-call potential customers, nor does anyone in the organization receive commissions for sales made. The company claims that it removes all of the extra costs of marketing, promotional items, and passes all of the savings directly to their clients.

The IP Anycast leader DNS Made Easy claims that they are able to keep unprecedented growth through investment in technology other than investment in pre-sales efforts. Recent studies at DNS Made Easy indicate that as much as 85% of the revenue received from sales goes directly into infrastructure hardware and costs associated with IP transit. This is compared to other providers in the industry where as much as 50% of the revenue is taken up by pre-sales and marketing costs.

DNS Made Easy has over an eight year history of offering services for fraction of their competitors. The company claims that their pricing is so aggressive that they are able to offer solutions at a lower price than traditional unicast DNS offerings.

DNS Made Easy also states that they list all of their pricing online and have stated that this is something that they will always do. “Many companies claim they are open and transparent,” stated Steven Job. “But these same companies do not even have the ability to list all of their pricing online. This is because each of their clients has negotiated rates and each contract is specially priced. Listing their prices would offend over half of their clients since half of their customers are paying more and half are paying less for the same service.”

“Our company culture depends on having an open relationship with our customers.” Steven Job claimed. “We built DNS Made Easy with the overall cost in mind. Other competitors in the industry built their networks by figuring out how much they can get per client. Naturally these companies have issues with keeping their costs low and then have no choice but to pass these costs to all of their customers. Take the cost of a competing service, ask for credit back for the shirt, the drinks, the dinners, the golf outings, the parties, and you still will not be anywhere near what DNS Made Easy can offer. We believe we have set a standard for IP Anycast DNS and we have allowed users of all levels be able to use IP Anycast DNS for years. At DNS Made Easy we believe our reputation speaks for itself and with our unprecedented growth, it’s obvious people are talking.”

To help fill in the gaps caused by the lack of an aggressive sales team, DNS Made Easy lists all of their prices online and also allows users to sign up for services through their website without having to speak with anyone in their offices. This streamlined approach to customer service and sales is definitely unique amongst other companies, which are choosing to charge far more for comparable network performance and features so they can employ people whose sole job requirement is to cold-call people and interrupt the natural flow of business. Many competitors in the industry do not allow users to create or test services without talking to a sales person as well.

DNS Made Easy has also re-vamped the knowledge base on their website to help eliminate any questions or concerns that current, or potential customers may have. If a sales question cannot be found on http://www.dnsmadeeasy.com, they do employ sales engineers who are available through their regular business hours to answer all sales and upgrade queries via phone or a live chat feature.

DNS Made Easy Takes Steps to make DNS Easier

admin — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 18:48:25 +0000

DNS Made Easy creates a series to help their users around the world become more verbose in Internet technologies and gain insights on “best practices” for managing their Internet infrastructure.
DNS Made Easy, the world leading IP Anycast DNS provider, and subsidiary of Tiggee LLC, has started writing non-partisan informational posts on Squidoo; a service that allows users to create top ten lists, tutorials and reference guides to share with everybody. These posts, called “lenses,” are used to inform, educate, and entertain readers who may have specific, or not so specific queries about various topics.

“We’re trying to not only educate our users, but any potential users of our service as well,” stated Bryan Hughes, VP of System Operations at DNS Made Easy. “We want to spread the word about DNS, and how it works behind the scenes to keep the Internet running.”

The first release for their Squidoo lenses, “Enterprise DNS from Start to Finish”, went live on 10/18/2010 and includes a brief history of DNS, the different types of DNS, choosing a provider, and migrating your domain from your hosting service. There’s also a quiz at the end of the lens to help readers retain the information.

The company plans on writing more lenses in the future on various topics pertaining to DNS pending the responses from their first offering. DNS Made Easy ‘s parent company (Tiggee LLC),is also maintaining their sister site, DNS University, which serves as a free online knowledgebase for anything DNS related.

“It’s an ambiguous space we occupy that’s becoming more mainstream every day.” says Steven Job, President of Tiggee LLC. “What we want to do is help the DNS Industry grow at an even greater rate than it has been over the past several years by raising awareness about DNS. What it is, how it works, and why we need it. It’s also important to us to make certain people know what features are available in the marketplace, and where to go to find the solution that’s right for them.”

DNS Made Easy has also put a new emphasis on media in recent months, posting videos to their website and their YouTube channel to not only promote their services, but also to inform people as to how their features work.
