DNS - Nixu Secure Name Server (SNS)

Social media, peer-to-peer networks and IP-everywhere are having a significant impact on the number of DNS queries. This trend is expected to gain further momentum over the coming years, requiring DNS platforms that can be easily scaled up to cope with increasing loads. At the same time, disaster recovery processes in virtualized computing environments rely on DNS, making it perhaps the single most critical network service today.

Nixu SNS is a virtualization-ready DNS software appliance streamlining the operational routines associated with running a DNS service. With automated software update process and support for centralized management via Nixu NameSurfer IPAM, it slashes the Operating Expenses (OPEX) associated with traditional DNS server products. Nixu SNS can be run both as an authoritative and as a caching DNS server.
