blinkx Employs NeuStar's UltraDNS Services

blinkx, a video search engine company based in San Francisco and London, has chosen NeuStar's UltraDNS Managed DNS Services to augment the performance, reliability, and scalability of its services. blinkx uses a combination of patented conceptual search, speech recognition, and video analysis software to efficiently find and qualify online video. The company has built an index of over 26 million hours of searchable audio, video, viral and TV content, and more than 350 media partnerships including national broadcasters, commercial media giants, and private video libraries.


By migrating to the UltraDNS Managed DNS Service, blinkx is able to benefit from the UltraDNS Traffic Management Services: SiteBacker, an advanced monitoring and failover service for critical enterprise systems and applications; Directional DNS, a geographic traffic shaping service that provides DNS responses based on geographic proximity; and Traffic Controller, a global server load balancing service that provides weighted load balancing of customer traffic across the Internet.
