Opening screen for the UltraMobile application.Neustar, Inc. has taken DNS network management mobile. Starting today UltraDNS customers can access their Managed DNS data on the UltraDNS platform via UltraMobile—the industry’s first mobile application for DNS management. UltraMobile is currently available for devices running the Android operating system and will be coming soon to Apple’s iOS. UltraMobile provides instant alert information and critical functions that users could previously only access from within the UltraDNS Managed Services Portal.

“Our customers are asking for increased flexibility, immediate access and control of their configurations on our global DNS infrastructure. We are excited to be the first managed DNS service provider to launch this type of mobile application,” says Alex Berry, SVP of Internet Infrastructure Services for Neustar. “It’s great that we can provide the most prominent Internet brands with a unique solution to help them manage their services anytime, anywhere.”

It’s universally recognized that the job of DNS administrators has never been tougher. They have to balance increasing demands from their customers and struggle to stay ahead of continuous technology shifts with limited resources, yet leaving no place for downtime. A tool that enables administrators to check the status of services and make changes remotely, virtually anytime and from anywhere, will make their jobs easier.

Everyone can sympathize with the administrator who gets the call in the middle of the night and needs to change a DNS record, or is working in the datacenter and realizes they need to add a new DNS record, but doesn’t have traditional web access.

“I need my administrators to be able to respond to issues immediately regardless of where they are or what they are doing and UltraMobile enables them to do just that. We’re thrilled to be able to start using UltraMobile as part of our critical DNS support system,” says Larry Labas, Director of IT Operations at SonicWALL.
