Sun Microsystems and Nominum, a provider of network naming and addressing solutions, have announced an agreement to deliver Nominum's domain name system (DNS) and dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) software to wireline, wireless and cable operators around the world. The Nominum software will be offered by Sun on a range of Sun's hardware platforms and has been optimised for Sun's Solaris 10 operating system. The two companies claim that combining Sun platforms, Solaris 10 and Nominum's software "allows customers to deploy a scalable and resilient network naming and addressing infrastructure solution with the backing of two world-class vendors... The combination eases deployment, reduces cost and provides service availability and connectivity for broadband internet, VoIP and IPTV users. "The Sun-Nominum solution offers unmatched DNS performance and resiliency while significantly reducing DNS query latency needed for real time applications. The result is a high-performance, scalable and highly available DNS infrastructure that enables telecommunications, cable and enterprise customers to meet the growing demand for high-quality Internet and IP-based services." |
