DNS management without the headaches
Let’s face it, DNS management isn't easy. If you’re using BIND it can be time consuming and minor errors can lead to major disruption, and if you’re using Windows you’re constantly applying security patches and have to struggle with an unreliable DNS service.
DNSBOX300 solves these problems. It combines proven DNS management software used by thousands of customers around the world, with the security, reliability and ease-of-use of the appliance format to make DNS management easier.
The DNSBOX300 range is packed with validation and automation features which dramatically reduce the effort and risks associated with DHCP and DNS management. Accessible remotely and securely via a simple browser interface it allows tasks to be shared and controlled by multiple administrators.
As far as cost savings are concerned you win all round. DNS errors are eliminated. Routine DNS management tasks are cut by more than 50%. And administration can be delegated, allowing more qualified people to add value elsewhere.
