International Carrier Sales & Solutions (ICSS), the international wholesale arm of Deutsche Telekom, has launched a new Domain Name System (DNS) service called ICSS Route, designed to provide fast response times, low latency and reliable access from anywhere in the world. ICSS claims that the new gobal DNS service is completely resilient against Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks.
As ICSS Route is authoritative-only, it does not operate in the recursive mode and is therefore immune to cache poisoning attacks and other risks. The fully RFC compliant solution can be run as either a managed or secondary DNS service and is available via a set of public APIs or over the ICSS CDN Web portal. ICSS Route also incorporates monitoring of server performance, availability and traffic management.
In its statement, ICSS emphasized the importance of good DNS management, saying that insecure infrastructures and older DNS technologies are not equipped to meet the requirements of modern business challenges, resulting in incidences such as serves not being found, e-mails not being sent, sites becoming dramatically slow or in worst cases, shutting down completely.
ICSS Route was built to cope with all the problems other systems can’t handle. It is a dedicated, enterprise-grade platform with extremely high performance, availability and security. Because it’s scalable and requires no up-front investment, it is also very cost-effective.
