Dyn monitors, controls and optimizes internet applications and cloud services to deliver faster access, reduce page load times and higher end-user satisfaction. Its best-in-class DNS solution will extend Oracle’s cloud computing platform and provide enterprise customers with a one-stop shop for Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS).
Some of the world’s most popular websites were crippled in October when Dyn became the subject of a massive distributed denial of service attack. But that hasn’t dampened Oracle’s ambitions.
Thomas Kurian, President of Product Development at Oracle, believes that the new acquisition is immensely scalable and is a natural extension to cloud computing platforms.
“Oracle already offers enterprise-class IaaS and PaaS for companies building and running Internet applications and cloud services. Dyn is immensely scalable and global DNS is a critical core component and a natural extension to our cloud computing platform,” said Kurian.
