A Choice of Leading Distros
As the OpenStack market matures, distributions are rapidly becoming the preferred choice for enterprises. PLUMgrid has partnered with leading OpenStack distributions to ensure choice and compatibility for customers.
In collaboration with Red Hat, PLUMgrid is announcing certification of Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 5 (RHEL-OSP 5) with ONS 2.0. The support ensures compatibility for customers who leverage functions provided by RHEL-OSP5 and ONS 2.0. In addition to Red Hat, PLUMgrid is partnering with Piston, Mirantis, Canonical and Oracle to support ONS for OpenStack cloud implementations.
Designated as OpenStack Compatible
PLUMgrid ONS has also received the OpenStack Compatible designation from the OpenStack Foundation. The OpenStack Compatible designation requires solutions to demonstrate interoperability with recent releases and OpenStack APIs. PLUMgrid’s OpenStack Compatible designation and collaboration with the leading distributions help customers expedite deployment of the virtual network infrastructure in OpenStack clouds.
Simplified Deployment
PLUMgrid introduces the Life Cycle Manager, which streamlines ONS software installation to rapidly deploy OpenStack cloud networks. Embedded in the Life Cycle Manager is a smart installer that automatically detects the OpenStack distribution and selects the appropriate ONS software packages to deploy. The smart installer dramatically reduces the installation effort and time, allowing users to focus on building advanced cloud applications.
With the Life Cycle Manager, PLUMgrid software can be installed in Linux containers (LXC), a lightweight, Linux-based virtualization method that can be rapidly deployed. By leveraging this modern container technology, ONS is able to run on any data center infrastructure without modification or configuration changes.
Greater Virtual Network Functions
ONS 2.0 provides a rich portfolio of virtual network functions including routing, switching with Private VLAN, security policies, NAT, and DHCP. In addition, ONS 2.0 is introducing tech previews for DNS as a service and end to end data encryption.

Internet Assure Launches Done-For-You Security Service to Keep Self-Hosted WordPress and E-Commerce Sites Live
Tulsa, OK (PRWEB) October 30, 2014
Internet Assure offers a complete done-for-you website protection service. This includes malware and botnet removal, site security analysis, DNS management, Domain and SSL expiration monitoring, anti-spam protection and scheduled file and database backups. InternetAssure.com covers all of the bases that a traditional, business website and e-commerce site needs covered.
“Hackers don’t take time off. They are constantly assaulting websites using manual and automated scripts, so we wanted to create a service that would keep websites secure all of the time, not just some of the time.” Said Tony Baker, Director at Internet Assure.
Internet Assure offers three distinct packages that focus on creating, protecting and healing wordpress and e-commerce enabled websites. The first package, designed for new WordPress accounts, offers full site configuration. The second package, intended for already establish websites, focuses on safeguarding existing content, optimizing and securing content, and analyzing logs for existing problems. Finally, the third package deals with already ailing sites who have been infected and hacked. This service focuses on restoring the site, analyzing the existing issues, and ensuring the website is completely protected going forward. Site restoration can be completed quickly and efficiently, and is best for those who have already encountered serious issues.
“We’ve learned a lot from 20 years of Internet Marketing and E-Commerce experience. Our goal is to make sure something like that doesn’t happen to the companies that we work directly with.” said Baker.
As the internet grows strong in terms of business, it stands to reason that more companies will build multiple websites, and with that, there are more playgrounds for hackers. InternetAssure has set out to stomp out those playgrounds, and to safeguard the important data that is passed through websites millions upon millions of times per day.

About Internet Assure:
InternetAssure was founded in 2014. The company’s founder realized that website security was an important component to the business world that was, amazingly, often overlooked until it was too late. This seemed especially true for small businesses that were just starting out with a web presence, e-commerce site or blog.

Join DNS Made Easy this Halloween to maximize uptime and stay online
Reston, Va. (PRWEB) October 31, 2014
Things can get a little scary this time of year. However, DNS Made Easy is ready to provide a safe-haven, at least for DNS services and online availability.
Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks are scary, and they are no laughing matter. In recent DNS outages, large, well-known companies were down due to DDoS attacks. These attacks are geared at taking down websites, causing Internet traffic jams and stealing information.
“The best policy is to face the issues head-on,” said Steven Job, president of DNS Made Easy. “People can’t let fear stop them from being prepared and making good business decisions.”
DNS Made Easy suggests not getting trapped in the spider web of sticky DNS service. Some companies use hosting services that provide DNS. This is typically included with the package rate of signing on for services. However, most of these companies don’t specialize in DNS safety, redundancy, global load balancing and decreased latency.
That lack of specialized service may translate into significant down time or poor site performance. The end goal of a DNS provider is to maximize uptime and keep traffic flowing to the site.
Managing DNS should not be something that is out of sight and out of mind. Unfortunately, unless a company has a whole team dedicated to keeping up with the latest changes in DNS, can constantly monitor for issues as well as resolve problems, issues can easily be missed.
Outsourcing web traffic management can sometimes seem like another ghoulish cost. Outsourcing some services to experts that value money and provide great ROI can often save your organization’s bottom line. Uptime and fast speeds helps ensure satisfied end users, which increases website visits and reduces abandon rates. All these factors can result in increased conversion and sales.
For any company that leverages the Internet for sales, marketing or information, business continuity depends on 100% site availability and fast loading times. Everything on the Internet relies on DNS: web, e-mail, video, audio, and more.
In order to properly defend against attacks, be on the offensive and maintain uptime, outsourcing DNS is the best bet. DNS Made Easy constantly researches, upgrades, and redesigns their network to exceed industry standards and insure it can defend against modern security threats. With 100% of network management being handled in-house, DNS Made Easy ensures you receive the highest quality of service possible.
DNS Made Easy thwarts DDoS attacks with an IP Anycast system, which is a network infrastructure, made up multiple geographically distributed points of presence around the world. This routing provides global load balancing, redundancy, decreased latency, and a true distributed response to denial of service (DoS) and DDoS attacks. This creates a multi-level backup system.
“With the holiday shopping kick up online, it is best to be on you’re A game,” Job said. “DNS Made Easy can help any business navigate through the scary, and sometime intimidating, pathways of DNS services.”
About DNS Made Easy
DNS Made Easy is a subsidiary of Tiggee LLC, and is a world leader in providing global IP Anycast enterprise DNS services. DNS Made Easy implemented the industry’s first triple independent Anycast cloud architecture for maximum DNS speed and DNS redundancy. Originally launched in 2002, DNS Made Easy’s services have grown to manage hundreds of thousands of customer domains receiving more than 8.0 billion queries per day. Today, DNS Made Easy builds on a proud history of uptime and is the preferred DNS hosting choice for most major brands, especially companies that compare price and performance of enterprise IP Anycast alternatives.

Tulsa, OK (PRWEB) October 31, 2014
Tony Darrick Baker lost his business to attacks from hackers and a series of server problems back in 2009. Since that time, Baker has dedicated much of his time to researching and discovering ways to make powerful and popular WordPress sites and E-Commerce stores more secure and more reliable. This has led to the creation of a new “done-for-you” service known as Internet Assure.
“You can’t make money if your site is down. It’s important to use a service which keeps watch on the ability of your website to stay in business,” said Tony Baker, director at Internet Assure. “Hackers are always on the move to exploit your server, and while using WordPress as one of the most popular content management systems out there can save you a ton of time in marketing and development, it also leaves a variety of clues and issues that often make your server vulnerable.”
Internet Assure is a group of technicians who work to upload and expertly configure a variety of custom settings and popular plugins that will help secure, track changes, and backup new and existing WordPress sites. This is especially important with WordPress E-Commerce stores that require SSL and shopping carts such as WooCommerce.
Internet Assure performs the following:
Site Security Analysis
Domain and SSL Expiration Reports
Anti-Spam Protection
Scheduled Database and File Backups
DNS Management Options
Site Log Analysis
24 Hour Emergency Service Options
And much more.

Enables IT Completes Complex Data Center Relocation to Brunswick, Maine Facility
Brunswick, Maine (PRWEB) November 01, 2014
Enables IT successfully completed a complex relocation of former Know Technology clients from a downtown Portland, Maine data center to a larger and more robust facility at the Enables IT US headquarters located on Industrial Parkway in Brunswick, Maine. The relocations and migrations took place between June and October, 2014.
The fifteen client moves varied in complexity from a 1u single server to 42u racks full of servers and storage. The Enables IT team completed the relocation and migrations with a level of expertise exemplified by careful planning and faultless execution. The success of the project was described by client Art Leblanc of Echo First, “This team was simply outstanding. They came up with a conservative and well thought out plan and executed the final phase this morning with skill and an over the top effort that minimized the disruption to our customers and our business.”
Enables IT’s data center engineer, Tim Barthelman, led the project and states “When Enables IT acquired Know Technology, combining data centers into the Brunswick facility brought challenges such as schedule, firewall reconfigurations, IP and DNS edits, 3rd party connections, transport logistics, failover sites, and maintenance websites.” He goes on to say, “Enables IT chose to migrate clients free of charge and the strength of my team proved invaluable in making the changeovers seamless.”
The newly relocated Enables IT clients are housed in a data center with more space, power, cooling, increased security, and access to additional staff. In the near future, the Brunswick data center will complete the process for SOC II Certification which will provide additional security and redundancy for all customers.
About Enables IT:
Enables IT Group plc is a leading provider of cloud computing, managed and professional services with US headquarters in Brunswick, Maine. Enables IT specializes in the delivery and management of mission-critical services, enabling customers to reduce the costs, complexity, and risks associated with their IT infrastructure.

Companies can fortify networks with DNS Made Easy built-in services
RESTON, VA (PRWEB) November 05, 2014
DNS Made Easy, the world leader in IP Anycast DNS services, is launching an initiative to help show companies how to keep their services online, even though some of some of their servers are not. With the use of the DNS Failover service of DNS Made Easy companies can create a competitive advantage. Creating a competitive advantage means having a well-managed technology system that covers for unexpected outages. This means integrating existing knowledge, proven technology management processes and quality control to develop solutions that give businesses what it needs: a network that works.
“At DNS Made Easy, we created the Elite Resolution Platform, which is a multi-tiered framework that creates localized server redundancy and scalability within the enterprise IP Anycast server constellation,” said Steven Job, president of DNS Made Easy. “The localized redundancy provided by the Elite Resolution Platform creates redundant servers within every cluster of servers that are constantly updated through a proprietary multi-tiered zone consistency system we call Peregrine Instant DNS updates.”
These servers will automatically begin responding to queries if query load increases or in the unlikely event that a server experiences a catastrophic failure. The Elite Resolution Services platform enables automatic contingencies such that multiple sites can experience catastrophic outages and all of the remaining sites will smoothly take over and share the query load of the down site(s).
This proprietary platform is implemented at the core of the DNS Made Easy network and guarantees that queries are always answered locally on the name server cluster nearest to the querying client, which is usually the resolving name server.
While Fort Knox wasn’t built in a day and didn’t become one of the most secure places in the world by hiding their gold outside its walls, DNS Made Easy has replicated those efforts in spending millions of dollars and decades securing its network.
Companies who use DNS Made Easy’s services have access to:
Proprietary and open source firewall and intrusion detection services on the DNS services
Proprietary and open source DDoS mitigation devices used to help clean the DNS services
Heavily enforced employee access control and information disclosure policies
Remote traffic black-holing and bandwidth capacity agreements with upstream providers
Distributed infrastructure monitoring utilizing internal and third party monitoring services
Automated zone comparison on all DNS servers
DNS Made Easy operates Internet backbones with the largest and most reliable data providers in the business. Our company provides answers to about 8 billion DNS request each day, all with complete redundancy.
“We believe that having zero downtime is not only expected in the DNS business, but required,” Job said. “Any down time is money lost and that’s unacceptable.”

DNS Made Easy is a subsidiary of Tiggee LLC, and is a world leader in providing global IP Anycast enterprise DNS services. DNS Made Easy implemented the industry’s first triple independent Anycast cloud architecture for maximum DNS speed and DNS redundancy.

Dyns New Internet Intelligence Products Shine in Third Quarter
Manchester, New Hampshire (PRWEB) November 05, 2014
Dyn, the worldwide leader in Internet Performance, today announced 23 successive quarters of revenue growth since 2009. The company also saw 42 percent revenue growth in their third quarter (the quarter ending September 30, 2014) over the same time period in 2013. The third quarter of 2014 was highlighted by Dyn’s launch of its first two intelligence products, Dyn Internet Intelligence and IP Transit Intelligence, the addition of tens of thousands of new customers and dozens of new hires, including additions to the senior leadership team.
“Dyn understands that as technology makes commerce more global, businesses cannot leave Internet Performance to chance or rely on educated guesses to ensure their customers can reach online applications and assets as intended,” said Jeremy Hitchcock, CEO, Dyn. “Our intelligence products are leading Dyn’s growth, because they allow companies to monitor and analyze how Internet Performance affects their business using unbiased data — a value unmatched in the industry.”
Dyn Internet Intelligence Portfolio
Dyn Internet Intelligence (DII) and IP Transit Intelligence are cloud-based products that provide real-time visibility into critical Internet connectivity and routing data so enterprises get a comprehensive look into how the Internet affects their online presence. DII and IP Transit Intelligence leverage the world’s most extensive sensor grid, geolocation analysis and Internet connectivity mapping, resulting in actionable, up-to-date insights to help select the best cloud service providers and data center locations to meet business goals and ensure their Internet applications and services are available to customers all over the world, at all times.
Unlike APM (Application Performance Management) and NPM (Network Performance Management), DII goes beyond applications and internal networks to unlock insights across the entire breadth and depth of the global Internet ecosystem – data centers, content delivery networks, and network and cloud service providers.
Because customers’ needs are often different, DII serves those looking to understand how Internet Performance impacts a business and brand, while IP Transit Intelligence serves those looking to gain valuable insights into Internet IP peering and transit relationships.
External Company Growth
During the third quarter of 2014, Dyn saw incredible customer growth. The company signed 245 new enterprise customers, including GolfNow.com, the Internet’s largest and most comprehensive online tee time reservation service; international fashion brand, Benetton; industrial battery technology company, Exide; identity theft protection company, LifeLock; UK ministerial department, Home Office; media entities, the Akron Beacon Journal and UStream; and online travel company, BookIt.com.
“Our migration to Dyn was seamless and the addition of its Enterprise DNS to GolfNow’s Internet presence means our users are reliably directed within the site,” said Sheriff Mohamed, Director of Architecture. “Our site’s performance is faster, which means our users can more efficiently use GolfNow.com to help them play more golf. Internally, we have the flexibility to add Geo Traffic Management services in the future so that we can further support growing the game of golf around the world.”
In addition to enterprise customers, Dyn also added 88,000 new self-service subscribers in the third quarter alone.
New Hires
Customers can’t make Internet Performance decisions alone. To support Dyn’s intelligence offerings and growth, the company announced five additions to its senior leadership team and dozens of other new hires. The new members of the Dyn’s senior leadership team, collectively, have decades of experience leading large global corporations. These appointments include:
Cindy Brown, SVP, Worldwide Sales — Prior to joining Dyn, Brown served as VP of Ad Operations at Yahoo, where she oversaw 300 employees and $ 1 billion in revenue per quarter.
Dave Connors, SVP, Operations — Connors has seen Dyn from many perspectives, first as a Dyn customer while serving as Constant Contact’s VP of Operations and then as Dyn’s VP of technical operations before broadening his scope to operations overall at Dyn.
Matt Toy, SVP, Customer Experience — Toy joins Dyn’s senior leadership team after more than three years at the company. With more than a decade of experience with SaaS-based technology companies, Toy is a tireless advocate for the voice of the customer.
Dave Allen, SVP, Legal and General Counsel — Allen, who specializes in formation, financing, governance and intellectual property issues, serves as Dyn’s general counselor and now joins the senior leadership team.
