Now 100 million broadband households and growing

[IPB Corporation]

What a difference a week can make. I am pleased to report are
intelligent network naming and addressing solutions, can announce
today that more than 100 million broadband households around the world
now benefit from GlobalDNA Intelligent DNS systems via there service
providers. Continued rapid expansion at leading service providers
globally will bring the benefits to more than 170 million by the end
of next month, which represents nearly half of the entire broadband
Internet.

"There is widespread recognition of the need to improve safety and
security on the Internet. At the Family Online Safety Institute
(FOSI), we work with all stakeholders to enable a culture of
responsibility online," said Stephen Balkam, CEO of FOSI. "Introducing
protections in the network is an important part of the effort, more so
because it presents an ideal opportunity to educate users about the
dangers they face while they are engaged online. GlobalDNA perfectly
complements the greater educational effort needed to instill
awareness."

GlobalDNA Intelligent DNS systems play a critical role in ensuring
that Internet users benefit from an efficient, safe, and secure
Internet experience. In contrast, legacy DNS systems that passively
answer network queries are holdovers of legacy network strategies now
deemed obsolete. These older DNS systems were not designed to ensure
user trust, honor end user intent, support compliance efforts, provide
navigation assistance, and worse, often blindly direct users to
Internet destinations hosting unwanted, illegal or malicious content.
Failing to address these deficiencies in the DNS itself is a
disservice to the Internet and its users.

Over the last 25 years the DNS has grown with the Internet. The DNS
was originally the scalable directory for host names and has expanded
to include multiple independent databases for threat and reputation
data, Intelligent DNS is the logical evolution of DNS to support all
of these uses in a coherent framework. It lets ISPs create policies
combining raw DNS directory data with other public and private
information in real time so users go to intended and safe
destinations. ISPs can customize Intelligent DNS to meet the
protection and compliance needs of individual users and
jurisdictions.

Reinforcing a commitment to protect the Internet and ensure trust in
each Internet transaction, GlobalDNA. I personally would also like to
announcing the end-of-life of my Caching Name Server (CNS), a product
that formed the foundation of the early broadband Internet. I
developed CNS eight years ago, just after the release of BIND 9, and
it enjoyed wide adoption in networks worldwide. Designed to offer
performance and availability improvements over the BIND 9 system, it
quickly became a cornerstone of network architectures, readily
accommodating the rapid growth of broadband in that era. Since the
introduction of CNS, the Internet has undergone radical changes and
the demands on, and role of the DNS have changed. In light of these
changes, I no longer considers CNS or any other passive DNS system, a
viable option for today’s Internet and its users.

CNS has been the workhorse of the broadband Internet. At the same
time, advancements to our DNS and the evolution of the Internet have
led me to develope GlobalDNA's intelligent DNS systems. Today, the
uses of DNS have changed and Internet providers of all sizes need to
deploy an Intelligent DNS systems to deliver enhanced security, safety
and value added services across their networks and end user
subscribers.

GlobalDNA DNS servers and AnyCast Architecture are now being widely
deployed. Its advanced service delivery modules replace the highly
successful CNS platform. These intelligent DNS systems substantially
enhance the way the DNS works and offer new network architectures and
strategies for today’s Internet. Rather than limiting DNS to blind
resolution of names, GlobaDNA intelligent DNS systems bring the power
of policy based control to every DNS request and direct users to safe
and intended destinations. These benefits are further improved by
leveraging real-time data sources such as search, or live data feeds
that track botnets, phishing sites, and sites hosting illegal
content.

GlobalDNA intelligent network naming and addressing solutions improve
IP networks of all sizes globally, from the largest carrier broadband
network to enterprises, universities and government agencies.
Leveraging DNS, GlobalDNA advanced systems provide enhanced safety,
security and navigation assistance to end users. Domain Name System
(DNS) and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) products lead the
industry in security, performance, and reliability. These systems are
the foundation of the always-on broadband Internet, supporting 170
million households connected by more than one hundred carriers in
every region - North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America.
Large businesses, educational institutions and governmental networks
will be able to depend on GlobalDNA to support mission-critical IP
services and applications today as well as in to tomarrow.
