Oracle managed DNS has been the most vital part of the engineering process of our cloud product. It is being used by our organization's cloud department. It addresses the domains of all our customers which is in a way directly affecting the customer.

We are using Oracle Dyn Managed DNS to host all of our domains across the organization. With Dyn DNS it is very responsive and the population of DNS across the globe is immediate. So during DNS publish we never waited for more than 30 min.

Oracle Dyn Managed DNS is being used for our external DNS management and Active/Fail-over for all our sites used across the entire organization. It allows us to use a cloud-based system for external DNS that was easy to implement and easy to use. The accounts can also be secured by 2FA, though it would also be nice if the Domain Registration account could be secured by 2FA as well.

We use it to manage our public facing DNS records. It acts as the entry point to our website and other services for all users both internal and external. We also use it for load balancing and redundancy. It alerts us when things go up and down which is useful.

Oracle DYN DNS is used by our IT department to manage all our company and client domains. We rely on DYN advanced active failover features to provide our clients the redundancy and resiliency of an Enterprise solution. With it we can make sure that the client services are never down for more than 1 min by failing them over to our DR site using DYN.

DNS is a very critical service for every business and NBC is no exception. Uptime, faster resolution, low latency and ease of use are keys of a good DNS service. NBC has been using Oracle Dyn Managed DNS for over 6 years using it to manage the DNS for over 100 production and non-production services. The service is flexible, with an intuitive user interface and also offers RESTful APIs for automation. 2FA is supported for securing the service. It provides low TTLs for up to 30 seconds for production services which need the flexibility to change. With the exception of a DDOS attack in 2016 during which service was impacted, the service is been up all the time.

Our SaaS relies on Oracle Dyn to provide reliable DNS service so our customers can access our service on our primary data center. Additionally, Oracle Dyn provides us virtually instant failover/switchover capability to our DR data center. Our domain names/subdomains are configured with 30 sec/1 min TTL on Dyn. So during a recent DR testing demonstration, we were able to demonstrate a simulated failover with a verified RTO and RPO of 1 min by simply changing the A record on our testing subdomain. The customers were impressed.

We use this product to manage all of the organizations DNS services. Although our organization's domains are registered through other 3rd party providers they are mostly configured to point to Dynect for their name servers (DN records). This is used across the entire organizations as well as all of our external partners.

We use Dyn-DNS to facilitate active monitoring of devices at sites across the US. By having a fully qualified domain name, we can ensure that our equipment remains reachable even if the IP address changes.

It is being used by the entire organization, as well as with our clients. The biggest purpose it serves is for some of our failover records in case of an ISP outage. That's where we get the largest value from. Without this, we would have some sites and remote locations that wouldn't function.

We have been using Dyn Managed DNS to manage our external facing server pool and web farm. It makes the management of DNS so much easier and performs accurate zone transfers to our external facing DNS servers. Our decision to switch to Dyn Managed DNS has saved me so much time to make it worth the investment.

Oracle Dyn Managed DNS is being used to support our e-learning platform across our organization by monitoring, customizing, and rapidly delivering sites. We use it for fail-over redundancy, and also in order to rapidly spin up new domain instances and records without the typical DNS propagation delay that's common in other platforms.

Our company is using what was previously DynECT to give fast access to our different domains to serve our sites for online scheduling. Since we have sites for several different languages and countries, we need to give fast access to each top level domain. We also use it for emails and proxies on different service providers.

We use Oracle Dyn Managed DNS across our organization to help manage not only our DNS but also the DNS and a few other DNS related services for most of our clients. It's great having a central location for all management, not to mention an interface that is easy for new users as well as advanced options for power users.

My company uses DynDNS to maintain a list of cloud targets that we provide to our customers. Using Dyn and the Dyn API allows us to easily create and manage records using automated processes saving us time and money by not having to manage and maintain our own DNS infrastructure.
