Southeast Asia Communication Service Provider Case Study

This case study examines the experience of a Southeast Asia Communication Service Provider (SE Asia CSP) in stabilizing its network and reducing server requirements through the implementation of Secure64 DNS Cache. The document outlines the challenges faced by SE Asia CSP, including the need for improved DNS scalability, resilience against DDoS attacks, and the control of operational and capital costs. The existing BIND-based DNS servers were overwhelmed by traffic spikes and attacks, leading to excessive costs and frequent patching due to critical vulnerabilities. The solution involved deploying Secure64 DNS Cache, which enabled the company to reduce its DNS servers from 20 to 2 while maintaining 100% customer availability during attacks. The case study details the concept of genetic diversity in DNS networks and how Secure64's unique capabilities provided enhanced security and scalability. The results demonstrated significant operational efficiencies and cost reductions, allowing SE Asia CSP to better serve its growing subscriber base.
