Patented DNS security made simple. Ideal for use cases at the cloud edge and in your data center.

DNS is a core network function increasingly consumed as a service. While managed DNS services typically provide a higher security level than on-premise BIND or Microsoft DNS installations, they also degrade the user experience through slower response time due to latency.

FusionLayer DNS is a virtualizable solution that combines the best of the managed services and the on-premise worlds. Run on-premise by SMBs, enterprises, and some of the largest telecom companies globally, it combines the security level associated with managed DNS services with the service quality expected by the end-users.

Deployed as a software appliance on VMware, KVM, Hyper-V, or Nutanix FusionLayer DNS can easily be run both on-premise and in the edge clouds enabling unparalleled security and service quality. With an automated installation process that requires only minutes to boot up a virtual machine, running DNS has never been this simple.

DNS security from the ground up. Guaranteed.

FusionLayer invented proactive DNS security in 2006. Since then, Tier-1 telecom companies, enterprises, and SMBs worldwide have deployed FusionLayer DNS to safeguard their Internet presence.

The standard security features in FusionLayer DNS include:

  • Patented security architecture
  • Intrusion prevention and firewall to protect against DDoS attacks
  • Support for TSIGs, DNSSEC, ACLs, and RPZ Feeds


Over the last 15 years, we have yet to see a FusionLayer customer’s Internet presence lost due to a failed FusionLayer DNS service. With a subscription-based licensing model that does not involve CAPEX -investments, your CFO will love it too.
