Tuesday,May 17
ADC (Armenian Datacom Company) and Netnod have today announced that
an instance of i.root-servers.net has been installed in one of ADC's
data centres. This is the first DNS (Domain Name System) root server
in Armenia, which will contribute to the reliability and redundancy
in DNS services to Internet users in Armenia and surrounding regions.
"This is an exciting step to take to improve the Internet in Armenia.
We are delighted to be working together with such a reputable
organization as Netnod. It is one of the most trusted names in DNS with
extensive experience in anycasting and DNS operations. Anycast is today
an established method of improving resilience and redundancy of the
DNS. This deployment is critical as it helps to address the issue of
"Access" in Armenia. It is also an important milestone towards our
objective to contribute to the Internet infrastructure development
in our region. We are looking forward to more deployments of this
kind in the coming months. " says Vahe Khachikyan, CTO of Armenian
Datacom Company "We are enthusiastic to deploy an i.root-servers.net
instance in Armenia" says Kurt Erik Lindqvist, CEO of Netnod "This
root server will not only benefit the Armenian Internet community,
but also Internet communities in the surrounding region, in terms of
faster domain resolution and increased resilience within the region as
a whole. This installation is part of Netnodīs efforts to continuously
increase the i.root-servers.net footprint and thereby increase the
performance and robustness of the root server system worldwide."
Root servers are a critical part of the Internet's Domain Name System,
providing information about authoritative servers for all Top Level
Domains (TLDs) (such as ".com", ".org", ".ru", ".am" and ".jp").
Computers need this information to interpret web-addresses, e-mail
addresses, and perform other types of Internet transactions.
