Nominum’s Chairman and Chief Scientist, Dr. Paul Mockapetris, invented the Domain Name System (DNS). Without DNS, the Internet and all derived IP-based applications simply cannot function. This vital layer supported the growth of the early Internet and saw very little improvement for many years — that is, until Nominum entered the scene.
Throughout the past ten years, we’ve led some truly exciting changes in the Internet community. We’ve added several innovations to and around DNS that make it function better and allow it to defend itself — making Internet connections safer, browsing more useful, and transforming DNS into a platform for new services that we can all enjoy and benefit from. To us, DNS isn’t just a way for machines to find other machines. That’s how people used to think about DNS. To Nominum, DNS is the primary way for you to find the things you’re looking for on the Internet. It’s also an important way to make sure you and your loved ones are protected while on the Internet. All IP services need DNS, and that means Nominum improves every service, every transaction, every moment on the Internet.
Many of our early innovations continue to stand out among alternative DNS solutions. While they may be a bit “techie”, the high-performance method in which we handle DNS queries, the unique way we’ve architected our software and the layered approach we’ve taken to enable our servers to protect themselves from attack have all withstood the test of time and continue to be leading differentiators across market and network environments. But we’ve never rested on our laurels. In more recent years, we’ve added groundbreaking policy and intelligence layers to our software and even reinforced and strengthened many of our early innovations. In short, our software continues to get better. We’re users, too, and even after 10 years, we remain just as committed to making our DNS software the best and most intelligent anywhere.
Thought leadership is not just about thinking — it’s about doing. It’s especially about making truly great thoughts into great products and services that everyone can enjoy. That’s why we created SKYE. Launched last year, SKYE represents another aspect of our thought leadership. In developing SKYE, we took the position that everyone deserves the best DNS — no matter their industry or market position. We began offering hosted services quickly, then added our Network Protection Service, which leverages DNS data to identify and protect networks from all sorts of threats. It can also provide real-time monitoring and online diagnostics of all our software systems deployed globally, offering customers real-time network visibility and event awareness across their network. Now that is amazing.
