Akamai DNS infrastructure (DNSi) is a robust solution designed to provide fast and reliable network performance. At its core are the CacheServe resolvers, which form the foundation for efficient network operations. These resolvers are widely adopted, powering many of the world's largest networks and deployed by more than 130 Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), serving nearly a billion subscribers globally. DNSi CacheServe resolvers are engineered to optimize both user experience (UX) and operational simplicity. They achieve this by delivering low-latency responses, ensuring high resiliency, and offering high capacity to handle large volumes of DNS queries. Additionally, these resolvers come equipped with self-defending capabilities, which play a crucial role in shielding networks and subscribers from various online threats. Complementing the CacheServe resolvers are the AuthServe on-premises authoritative servers. These servers are designed to support a wide array of provider communication services, email systems, and branded applications. By doing so, they enhance and extend the internet access offerings of service providers, allowing for a more comprehensive and tailored network solution.
