Fast DNS is General Availability
Fast DNS is a cloud-based authoritative DNS solution that augments or replaces a customer’s existing DNS infrastructure. Fast DNS improves DNS resolution times, especially for websites on an Akamai delivery product, and has the scale to absorb the largest DDoS attacks targeting the DNS infrastructure. Additional unique capabilities include:
Tenant distribution. No two Fast DNS customers share the same NS delegation set. This protects all customers when one customer experiences a massive DNS DDoS attack against the shared infrastructure.
Roles and permissions. Provides configuration access controls to limit who can view and edit configurations.
Total Solution. Provides exceptional functional capabilities, such as automatic IP throttling, IPv6 support, log delivery, reporting, primary and secondary DNS, SLAs, vanity name servers, alias zones, Zone Apex Mapping, and RESTFul API and optional DNSSEC support.
