NeuStar Inc (NYSE: NSR), a provider of clearinghouse and directory services to the communications and Internet industry, announced on Tuesday (24 June) that the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA), a not-for-profit Canadian corporation that is responsible for operating the .ca country code top-level domain (TLD), has chosen NeuStar to provide its UltraDNS Managed DNS service.

This UltraDNS service is expected to bolster the scalability and reliability of Canada's DNS infrastructure and to support Canada's national Internet domain.

CIRA has reportedly leveraged NeuStar's UltraDNS Managed DNS Service to expand its global network footprint in a cost- and resource-effective manner. CIRA is utilising the UltraDNS platform to increase on-demand capacity to handle large volumes of traffic and also to gain software code diversity within its network environment.

Neustar said that, with its UltraDNS Managed DNS Service, CIRA will benefit from the DNS Shield, an extension of the UltraDNS infrastructure. The DNS Shield involves the deployment of authoritative DNS servers within the core networks of leading ISPs, creating a hardened and secure DNS infrastructure that provides unprecedented levels of Internet performance and advanced protection against Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) and pharming attacks, the company said.

Financial details were not available.
