The TRUE Architecture™ from Nominum allows service providers to leverage their DNS infrastructure to deliver a Trusted Internet Experience. The TRUE Architecture is built on foundational technologies developed by Nominum that provide superior security, performance and availability for more than 150 million broadband households globally. It provides an integrated platform for identifying threats, enforcing policy and deploying new value-added subscriber services.

Products currently incorporated in the TRUE Architecture include:

Vantio Base Server: As the industry's leading caching DNS Server Vantio offers the highest performance and availability due to a stable code base proven at more than 100 service providers around the world. Advanced layered security defenses built into Vantio are completely unmatched in the industry and deliver the best possible protection from DNS cache poisoning attacks that threaten to undermine the Internet.

Vantio Malicious Domain Redirection (MDR): A Service Delivery Module used in conjunction with the Vantio Base Server to provide real time protection against web threats (phishing, malicious content, illegal content) for all subscribers using any kind of device (PC, mobile, game console, ect) or application (web, mail, IM etc).

Vantio Non-Existent Domain Redirection (NXR): A Service Delivery Module used in conjunction with the Vantio Base Server to enable monetization of mistyped browser entries and offer a better subscriber experience.

Centris Server: A massively scalable high performance database for aggregating multiple threat data feeds in the service provider network and providing real time feeds to enforcement points using DNS or other open protocols. Centris scales up to a billion malicious Internet destinations.

Nominum has partnered with the leading vendors of threat data and already integrated their feeds into the TRUE Architecture. Additional feeds or customer owned data can be integrated with open interfaces.

The TRUE Architecture is a software-only solution, which dramatically reduces network and operational impact. Even customers that do not currently use Nominum’s products can deploy it on the existing DNS hardware footprint. No network redesign or new equipment is needed.

Other benefits of the TRUE Architecture include:

• New revenues through paid subscriber services
• Reduced cost of help desk calls from users victimized by Internet threats
• Real time protection for all users, devices and applications
• No impact to users, browsers and applications
• No privacy issues unlike intrusive approaches
• Hundred times better price / performance of alternatives
• No network re-architecture and no new hardware
