Fast, Secure DNS Caching Software

Designing a DNS infrastructure for both performance and security can be challenging. Driven by subscriber growth and the shift to an all IP-based network, load on the DNS has grown dramatically over the past several years. The shift to IPv6 and the potential explosion of IP-based devices will only accelerate this trend. At the same time, concerns over the security of the DNS is at an all time high after discovery of fundamental flaws in the DNS protocols and documented cases of DNS attacks worldwide.

Secure Your Cache, Protect Your Brand

Fortunately, Secure64 DNS Cache fixes these problems. It’s the highest performance, most secure caching name server software available, costing almost half of what competing companies charge. What’s more, Secure64 DNS Cache:
  • Handles ever increasing loads with consistently low query latency
  • Keeps your customers safe from debilitating DNS attacks -- including Kaminsky-style cache poisoning attacks – that reflect poorly on your company
  • Provides a method to generate maximum revenues through web error redirection

Carrier-Grade Performance

Secure64 DNS Cache offers the highest performance per CPU core of any caching name server software available today. It offers throughput of over 125,000 queries per second on a single, dual core processor. That’s over three times the throughput of BIND running on two quad core processors!

DNS Cache also includes a high speed network stack and cryptography library allowing it to easily handle the additional load imposed by DNSSEC validation. This means you can consolidate servers and reduce operational costs while building a caching infrastructure pre-designed for future growth.

By incorporating intelligent retry algorithms coupled with the ability to refresh expiring cache entries, DNS Cache delivers extremely low and highly predictable query latency to improve the end user’s experience. For you, this translates into increased customer loyalty, decreased customer churn, and increased brand value.

Unmatched Security


Performance and security are often mutually exclusive—but not with Secure64 DNS Cache. Its five layer security model provides the greatest protection against cache poisoning attacks through industry-leading query randomness and active cache poisoning detection and defense mechanisms. The patented core technology and built-in defenses against denial of service attacks will keep your DNS running even in the most hostile environments, unlike conventional DNS solutions that become unavailable during attacks.

Flexible IPv6 migration


DNS plays a central role in the migration to IPv6 regardless of choice of migration technology.  Secure64 DNS Cache can operate with full functionality in an IPv6 only or dual stacked environment with support for AAAA records. DNS Cache also adds additional features that greatly simplify and accelerate the transition to IPv6, so as:
  • DNS64, a technology that allow service providers to quickly deploy IPv6 to handsets and customers without the need for additional IPv4 addresses. DNS64 is deployed in conjunction with NAT64.
  • Allowing AAAA lookups to be disabled  over IPv4 transport in order to protect end user experince for those clients with broken IPv6 Implementations. 

These advanced IPv6 features have no impact on performance and can be deployed in conjunction with other advanced features. Secure64 DNS Cache is a natural choice for service providers that are serious about their IPv6 transition.

Money-Making Redirection


Large service providers can no longer ignore the opportunity to generate incremental revenue from web error monetization, while providing free, value-add services to their customers. Secure64 DNS Cache supports integrated web error redirection that works with all major redirection vendors without requiring deployment of additional hardware into your network.

Lowest TCO


Secure64 DNS Cache provides the lowest Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), because you can:
  • Increase headroom without additional capital expenditures
  • Prevent security breaches from malicious code and rootkits
  • Eliminate risk of platform compromise
  • Maintain availability during denial of service attacks
  • Protect customers against cache poisoning attacks
  • Monetize web errors with your choice of redirection partner
  • Implement a standards-based product that fits into the existing DNS architecture without locking you into a proprietary architecture
  • Work with our existing partners, like HP, to ensure easy integration
  • Eliminate manual software upgrades by utilizing automatic updates provided by our software appliances
  • Transfer licenses to new hardware, unlike hardware appliances which can only be upgraded by repurchasing the entire product.
