EfficientIP launches SOLIDserver DNS Cloud
October 2014 by Marc Jacob
EfficientIP launched SOLIDserver DNS Cloud, to enable onpremises
and cloud DNS infrastructures to be managed from a single
management console. It is the first developer to fully integrate Amazon Web
Services’ (AWS) Route 53 within its DNS security solution.
DNS Cloud is the third innovation in six months to be launched by EfficientIP
for its SOLIDserver DDI appliance suite; Hybrid DNS Engine, which combines
three DNS engines to mitigate Zero Day Vulnerabilities was launched in
February 2014 followed by DNS Blast in June, the world’s fastest DNS server,
which supports up to 17 million queries per second to thwart a DDoS attack.
The combination of AWS cloud-based approach with on-premises DNS
management provides even greater protection against DDoS attacks for
businesses. AWS will ensure 100 per cent availability to its Route 53 DNS
Service, which is particularly important at a time when the number of cyber
attacks is steadily growing. Symantec reported a growth in cyber attacks of 42
per cent last year alone and according to Forrester over 50 per cent of the
most significant online operations experience five or more 2-6 hour DDoS
attacks per month. A survey conducted in June 2014 by IDC and EfficientIP
found that 72 per cent of respondents had been impacted by downtime, a
compromised website or by having sensitive information publicly released.
SOLIDserver DNS Cloud is available through EfficientIP’s network of
resellers.
