REDWOOD CITY, Calif., July 26, 2005 – Nominum, the leading provider of IP address infrastructure solutions, today announced that its carrier grade DNS and DHCP servers will be deployed on IBM eServer BladeCenter systems, a powerful combination designed to help telecommunications and Intenet service providers deliver superior DNS infrastructure solutions on the Industry’s leading blade server platform.
“Communications providers have become increasingly focused on deploying high available and scalable DNS services,” said Tom Tovar, vice president of business development of Nominum. “The drive to deploy true DNS infrastructure solutions makes the combination of Nominum’s Foundation product family of IP address management solutions with the IBM eServer BladeCenter platform a natural fit and will allow providers a flexible platform to meet growing network demands.”
Challenged by malicious attacks, more demanding web applications, Voice over IP (VoIP) and the continued growth of Internet usage, telecommunications and internet service providers are increasingly requiring a robust DNS infrastructure that enables always-on networked services. When combined with the IBM eServer BladeCenter platform, the Nominum Foundation Caching Name Server and Authoritative Name Server creates a solution that enhances DNS capacity, provides the highest level of protection available for end users, and reduces overall operating and capital costs
“New applications on converged networks place increasing pressure on the quality of service that can be offered by providers,” said Juhi Jotwani, Director of IBM eServer BladeCenter Alliances, Systems & Technology Group. “We are delighted to work with innovative telco solutions providers like Nominum to provide our mutual clients solutions they require to maintain and grow their subscriber bases.”
Nominum offers three solutions for service providers on the IBM BladeCenter platform:
“ Nominum Foundation Authoritative Name Server: Ideal for hosting organizations that require always-on DNS for high volume/low latency networks, this server provides performance that can meet demanding requirements, for example for deploying ENUM for VoIP or IP Multimedia Subsystems (IMS) networks.
“ Nominum Foundation Caching Name Server: Specifically addressing the needs of broadband internet providers, this solution also offers integrated load balancing and scalability benefits while additionally allowing for the integration of new solutions for serving and growing different subscriber bases.
“ Nominum Foundation Caching Name Server and Nominum Foundation Dynamic Configuration Server: When combined in the IBM BladeCenter platform, it allows for a modular approach for service providers to deploy the required DNS and DHCP functionality to new and existing Points of Presence (POP).
The IBM eServer BladeCenter is targeted at telecommunications workloads and other environments that require increased ruggedness and durability, and offers a range of benefits including exceptional performance for compute-intensive floating point applications, the transmission of increasing amounts of data at high speeds, reduced downtime, and simplified management.
