DNS reliability for the City of College Station
City of College Station, Texas has appointed ApplianSys Limited to provide a robust DNS backbone to support its online residential services. The DNSBOX server appliance helps deliver exceptional reliability through its sophisticated twin ‘CompactFlash’ architecture. Not using hard disks means a primary point of hardware failure has been eliminated – the DNSBOX is built to me more reliable from the ground up.
“If any master or slave suffers a hardware failure, you can simply remove the flash cards from the failed unit, replace it with a spare hardware unit, insert the cards, reboot and it’s as good as new”, says Tom Spangenburg – CEO of BostonNetSource, ApplianSys’ US based Solution Partner. “Its ‘plug & play’ simplicity for DNS management”, he adds.
