MintDNS Enterprise Description

A fully featured Dynamic DNS (DDNS) server suite

MintDNS 2008 is a fully featured Dynamic DNS (DDNS) server suite that allows you to run your own enterprise level DDNS Service. Our company has provided Dynamic DNS solutions for more than 7 years, and MintDNS 2008 Enterprise is our latest product. It is the most robust, feature rich, scalable product, that we have ever offered.

If you are interested in custom development, you'll be happy to know that MintDNS is almost completely open sourced, allowing you to easily expand on the existing system to meet any special needs your company may have. The advantage of having an established, time tested, platform to build on could save weeks if not months of development time.

MintDNS is the engine behind many popular Dynamic DNS (DDNS) Services. If you have ever owned a Panasonic or Shixin Digital IP camera, and configured it's included Dynamic DNS (DDNS). Then you have most likely used MintDNS!

Supporting both Dynamic and Static DNS, MintDNS also supports several standard update protocols, which enables support for many existing third party IP update clients and many hardware firmware clients (Any dyndns.org compatible device). This allows you to provide time tested Dynamic DNS (DDNS) Services to most internet connected computers, routers, firewalls or even remote cameras.

MintDNS is completely template based, so the look and feel of your DNS service can easily be changed to match your existing website or modified to suit your specific needs.

Robust and Scalable

With our unique system, you will be able to run your own enterprise level Dynamic DNS (DDNS) service and give your users or devices the ability to create and manage unlimited DNS records. You will also be able to offer the internet community Dynamic VPN gateway services, and the ability to do just about anything a person with a static IP address could do with his or her computer.

MintDNS makes use of an extremely efficient SQL database and its C++ COM components use a Semaphore threading setup that blows all other applications of it's kind out of the water. Even in this day and age you would be hard pressed to find applications that are capable of supporting millions of users out of the box. MintDNS 2008 on the other hand will not only support millions of users, but it will do so efficiently and error free. The only real limits are the amount of server resources you dedicate to your DDNS service.

Fully NLB/Cluster compatible. MintDNS features automated DNS and database failover. With load balanced servers and a P2P SQL configuration, MintDNS becomes an "add server" solution ("Outgrown your setup? Just add another server"). The sky is truly the limit!

You can control all aspects of your distributed system instantly with a click of the mouse, regardless of how many users are registered with your service. MintDNS behaves the same if you are hosting a thousand users or 100's of thousands.

Does your organization require support for a proprietary DDNS client? You will be happy to know that support, for just about any device, can be added by our team in 10-15 minutes time. With our advanced ISAPI, no changes are required within the client application itself.

In the past, the only way to run your own Dynamic DNS (DDNS) service was to write your own server and client applications. That time has passed, and it has never been easier or faster to setup and operate a reliable, trusted Dynamic DNS (DDNS) server.

What is DDNS Dynamic DNS?

(Dynamic DNS) DDNS servers provide client computers with static DNS names, even if their IP address is dynamically assigned.

Dynamic DNS circumvents most needs for static IP addresses. This is very useful since almost all IP addresses are dynamically assigned. Simply put, there's only so many numbers out there, at least as far as the computer is concerned. (Basically, each of the four parts in the address can only be between 0 and 255.)

Old design decisions limit the theoretical number of IP addresses even more, and until IPv6 hits the mainstream, the current shortage of IP addresses will only worsen. What does this mean, you may ask, and how does it impact me?

Well, not everyone can have their own static or dedicated IP address. Some Internet Service Providers might let you have a dedicated IP, but they'll likely charge you extra for it. An average cost for a static IP address is over $99.00 a month.

Think of the phone system. When you dial a number, it rings at a particular location because there is a central numbering plan that ensures that each telephone number is unique. The world IP address schema and DNS work in a similar way. If telephone numbers, IP addresses and domain names were not globally unique, phone calls or e-mail intended for one person might go to someone else with the same IP or domain name. Without uniqueness, both systems would be unpredictable and therefore unreliable.

Having a dynamically assigned IP address is like having to change your phone number twice a day. If other people need to connect to your computer, they would have no way of knowing your current number. "Imagine if the phone company changed your number twice a day. People would have a very hard time calling you". Dynamic DNS (DDNS) works much like an old style phone operator, directing internet users to the appropriate internet server, despite the fact that the server's IP address is continually changing or dynamic.

If a business or home user needs to run software such as Web Servers, FTP Servers, Game Servers, Email Servers, online video conferencing, voice conferencing, or if they need to allow access to their networks for things like connecting to computer systems through remote access, enabling VPN's between branches, keeping track of branch office print servers, then they would require either a static dedicated IP address or Dynamic DNS (DDNS).

IP cameras are particularly reliant on Dynamic DNS (DDNS). If you have ever owned or know anyone who owns an IP security camera or DVR, I would bet you are more than familiar with Dynamic DNS and its benefits.

Since the early 1990's Dynamic DNS (DDNS) services have existed. ml.org and dynip.com were among the first. And by the time dyndns.org, the current Dynamic DNS leader, came to be, there were 20 or so Dynamic DNS services in existence world-wide.

Today the number of Dynamic DNS services is still relatively low, in the hundreds I believe. Dynamic DNS (DDNS) has proven itself in today's market time and time again and has catered to the multitudes who have traded their Static IP's for dynamic domain names.

If you live in a relatively large town, there are likely millions spent each year by local businesses that require static IP addresses. Most do not know about Dynamic DNS (DDNS) services, and many would be happy to know that there is a qualified alternative to the thousands of dollars they spend each year for static or persistent IP addresses.

With the Dynamic nature of the worlds current IP address schema, users cannot readily access web and other services, if the server's IP address is always changing. Furthermore, IP addresses are difficult to remember. Dynamic DNS (DDNS) has gracefully addressed many of the problems associated with dynamic IP addresses.
