German VoIP Carrier Selects Nominum to Meet High Customer Demand

By Anuradha Shukla, TMCnet Contributor


Nominum’s (News - Alert) Foundation Caching Name Server (CNS) is enabling Telefonica Deutschland to deliver consistent and high quality VoIP services for customers and sustain growth in the German communications market.

 
In order to continue its successful growth in the German communications market, Telefonica Deutschland needs to provide superior service levels and meet Service Level Agreement (SLA) commitments to its wholesale customers while controlling operational costs.
 
When Telefonica Deutschland expanded its services from broadband data to VoIP, the DNS traffic grew considerably and the existing DNS infrastructure needed to be adjusted and modernized in order to be prepared for continuous future growth. Instead of adding more servers to boost network availability and performance, Telefonica Deutschland chose Nominum CNS.
 
Robert Sander, head of Systems & Applications, Telefonica Deutschland said that in less than 30 minutes, Nominum CNS was up and running on the same hardware they use to run their open source servers. Their administrators have more time to focus on supporting new services instead of monitoring and patching servers.
 
Sander added that Nominum has helped them build a highly scalable DNS infrastructure that allows them to deliver reliable, high quality service to existing customers with enough capacity to add new customers without impacting performance.
 
According to Tom Tovar, chief executive officer, Nominum, carriers are discovering that VoIP escalates demand on IP networks, reducing service performance and availability. He emphasized that to encourage widespread business and consumer adoption of these services, it's essential for carriers to deliver reliable and consistent service at all times.
 
“We are pleased that Nominum helped Telefonica Deutschland meet service-level expectations for its wholesale and direct customers with available headroom to support even larger volumes as new IP-based services are rolled out,” said Tovar in a statement.
