DNS Resolution at Arizona Observatory

ApplianSys today announced that the University of Arizona has selected DNSBOX to deliver DNS services inside a remote telescope in the Arizona Mountains.

The telescope, which is owned by the Vatican and managed by the University, is on top of a 10,500ft mountain 150 miles from the Department of Astronomy. Due to the extreme conditions it is being placed in, the University needed a robust and reliable solution for DNS management.

“Hard disks are the primary cause of hardware failure”, says Magdalena Jovanovic, DNSBOX sales manager. “By using industrial CompactFlash for Programs (application and operating system) and Data (DNS data and server config) we’ve eliminated the cause of 90% of server failure – perfect for when you need rock solid reliability up a mountain.”

The University of Arizona (www.arizona.edu) is the leading public research university in the American Southwest. The UA produces more than $530 million in annual research and is the state’s only member of the prestigious Association of American Universities. The Department of Astronomy and Steward Observatory (www.as.arizona.edu) form one of the worlds leading astronomy research organizations.
