Vantio Base Server

Vantio Base Server is Nominum's next-generation caching DNS server that allows carriers to deliver value-added subscriber-centric services that leverage DNS as a key control point in the network. Vantio is based on Nominum's carrier-proven caching name server technology, which delivers unsurpassed query performance and response time, ultra high availability and robust security. The Vantio server provides an extensible DNS platform for next-generation subscriber-centric services.
