Nominum worldwide customers include BT, Samsung Networks, ASAHI Net, COLT Telecoms, NTL, Telewest, 3, TDC, KPN, Verio, Telmex and Telecom Italia. Leveraging the powerful performance of Nominum's DNS, DHCP and IP name and address management product suite, service providers are implementing Nominum's software, secure in the knowledge that Nominum's products will provide a reliable platform from which to run their mission critical operations -- and in addition, help to lower operational costs. "Nominum focuses on a space in the market that is business critical for IP-based communications. For IP Telephony, efficient and secure DNS and DHCP services can be as important as the IP PBX and telephones in ensuring end-user satisfaction. This is an area that service providers will need to address as they migrate to IP Telephony," according to Chris Barnard, research manager in IDC's European Telecommunications and Networking team. For telecom service providers, the increase in network traffic, connected devices, and advanced IP-based products and services such as Triple Play is accelerating the transition from open source to commercial grade DNS and DHCP solutions. In addition, the increase in viruses and denial-of-service attacks is causing service providers to reassess their IP name and address infrastructure. These reasons are driving the demand for a software solution that centralizes the management and administration of complex IP networks and creates a solid foundation from which to run services. "We are delighted by the increasing worldwide adoption of our products. Customers are responding to the technical excellence of our products as well as our acclaimed support. This global momentum makes clear Nominum is the leader in this market," said Chris Risley, chief executive officer of Nominum.
