CNBC Arabia - Global DNS [Dubai]

The Opportunity: A special client with special needs prompts proactive and creative thinking at Net for Business. The CNBC Arabia operation is spread across the Middle East with studio facilities and bureaus in many different cities. The CNBC IT team felt the company needed something more than the standard internal dual DNS server regime for handling DNS and they wanted something more than the tipple redundancy and dual locations offered by the standard Net for Business DNS setup.

The Solution: N4B put together a consortium of suppliers to provide a geographically independent and more importantly geopolitically remote domain name server farm that is worldwide. The N4B Global DNS service uses domain name server groups in Australia, the Americas and Europe to provide load sharing capabilities, rapid DNS changes and as near to 100% up time as is possible. The service means that should an office move be urgently required to another city or country, the DNS changes required would be far faster than by any other means.

This service combined with a centralised Web mail setup and sophisticated backup regime provides an inexpensive disaster recovery system. A 24/7 support contract is also available to clients who believe they need it.

Short support contracts are also available to companies wishing to minimise their risk profile during unsettled times.
