CDN provider EdgeCast Networks wants to get into the global DNS market and is doing so with the launch of a product called EdgeCast Route. The new DNS offering will rely on the company’s global IP infrastructure and will be priced at a fraction of what customers expect from existing enterprise DNS services, it believes.2 [6 n7 C" f) M, @

The launch of an enterprise DNS service follows along that trend — and, more importantly, it leverages technology that the company had built out for its CDN business.

EdgeCast Route relies on the company’s massive IP network, which has points of presence all over the world. In testing its own and third-party performance tests, the company believes that its product outperforms many of the major existing DNS providers by a factor of 15 percent to 300 percent, depending on the competitor and region. In fact, according to president James Segil, EdgeCast found that many of its customers were relying on the CDN to compensate for “a less-than-stellar DNS host.”, b5 i, q( ~, y4 C

As a result, the company figured it was time to make the DNS service available to customers, and to do so with a pricing scheme that would be disruptive to the industry. Pricing will be based on the number of zones, queries, and DNS health checks that the service receives per month. It will also depend on what level of routing customers need — i.e. whether they’re looking for just standard DNS routing, or if they want load balancing and failover, or even more advanced policy-routing capabilities like geo-blocking.; o) I; }, Z3 u: {2 D5 A
