To achieve increased ARPU and decreased customer churn, service providers are focusing on delivering a high subscriber quality of experience (QoE). DNS is a key element in the service provider network that delivers content and services to the user, buti it is often the target of disruptive attacks that prevent you from providing high QoE. F5 BIG-IP Global Traffic Manager (GTM) provides high-performance DNS Services and security to ensure quality service availability. It enables you to scale your DNS infrastructure, and offers a high-performance authoritative DNS server and intelligent DNS control.
