Neustar Expands UltraDNS Global Network Infrastructure to South America

By Ed Silverstein, TMCnet Web Editor

Neustar has expanded its global managed DNS infrastructure to South America by establishing a new UltraDNS network node in Bogota, Colombia.

The new node will enhance Internet browsing for users in Colombia – and the surrounding region – and will help Neustar customers scale their businesses into the rapidly expanding Latin American marketplace.

The UltraDNS infrastructure is the largest and most widely distributed of its kind in the industry, according to Neustar. It was set up about 10 years ago, and it now supports more than 3,000 customers across the globe from a diverse industry portfolio. The infrastructure consists of 16 public network nodes across six continents, with additional private collocated nodes.

The UltraDNS Directory Service Platform is a fully redundant, carrier-grade installation comprised of best-in-class equipment and proprietary, patented technologies.

"Launching our network node in South America is a significant achievement for UltraDNS and a critical milestone in Neustar's international expansion," said Alex Berry, senior vice president of Neustar's Internet Infrastructure Services group. "We are thrilled to be offering our customers an even better level of service. The UltraDNS infrastructure now provides thousands of our enterprise clients – including .CO, the country code top-level domain for the Republic of Colombia – a global and fully integrated network platform to support the most demanding business critical websites."
