Introduction
Many companies fail to realize that their DNS infrastructure has weaknesses,
and that failures can cause severe losses in business.
ZoneEdit, Inc's experience and growth in managing DNS for small businessed and individuals,
allow it to offer this premeier Enterprise DNS solution.
The state of the industry
In a sampling study, conducted by Men & Mice* -
a DNS services organization, 38% of of Internet domains are vulnerable to failure due to
network risks.
ZoneEdit, Inc., the makers of ZoneEdit.Com DNS services, provides
large multinetwork capacity
to enterprise clients, leveraging our commitment to DNS services, and
eliminating this risk. Our servers are backed by Tier-1 NOC's and 24x7 technical support.
Traditional "geographic distribution" is considered important in the DNS infrastructure business.
However, because of the nature of network architectures, this is not precisely true.
The DNS network should should be distributed geographically, but also should be able to *minimize
"hops" to users*. Because of our network partners peering and provider relationships with hundreds
of backbone providers, including AOL, AT&T, Global Crossing, MCI/Worldcom, UUNET, SAVVIS,
Genuity, Qwest, SBC, and others, you are guaranteed that our servers are extremely close to
your users - from a network perspective - not just "on the map".

Minimising Risk, Maximizing effeciency
Unlike other DNS firms, each of our networks each have a unique architecure, a separate staff, and a separate
routing structure, ensuring that they are not exposed to router attacks, business risk, or other,
unknown exploits.
In a similar study by Mice and Men*
it was derminted that as much as 40% of of BIND users are vulnerable to a severe network
exploit.
ZoneEdit works closely with the ISC, the makers of BIND, and participates on a daily basis
to ensure that our systems are not vulnerable to exploits.
We're serious about DNS.
The ZoneEdit commitment
Our enterprise clients are guaranteed 100% uptime on DNS request. This is an SLA offering
unmatched in the DNS industry.
Typically, few companies monitor DNS response times.
Our services are monitored 24 hours per day, and we are in constant communication with our
network providers. If our servers are not responding quickly enough (under 1 second per query)
we immediately initiate emergency actions to reduce the response time to under 1 second.
This is how we achieve consistency of data, and the ultimate in service reliability.
