Beware new Domain Name sales scam

A ressurgence of an age-old domain name sales scam has statred again, with scammers UKDNR (calling themselves "Domain Name Registrar") are telephoning .uk and .com registrants, with a high-pressure sales tactic based on the false claim that someone is attempting to register domain names similar to yours, then offering to register them ahead of this fictitious 3rd party at a vastly inflated price.

Anyone receiving unsolicited sales calls regarding domain names and hosting should regard such calls as fraudulent, and under no circumstances should you give these scum your credit-card details.

If you want to buy additional domain names, always use a reputable domain registrar like Othello Technology Systems Ltd at www.OthelloNames.net

Routing Architecture Overview Pictures - coming soon

Othello Technology Systems Ltd maintains a carrier class fully autonomous network (AS29527) designed from the ground up for the highest reliability, maximum scalability and lowest latency.

12Gb/s Routing Structure

Routing is through our custom built fully redundant Netblok-R/RF Platform capable of sustained 12Gb/s throughput.

The AS29527 fully redundant multi-GigE Backbone with multiple routers each connected at Gigabit speeds to a wide range of Tier1 and Tier2 bandwidth suppliers, ensures that no upstream outage or maintenance has any impact on the Othello 100% uptime self healing network.

Highest Quality Switches

Switching is handled by Cisco 6500, 5500, 3500 and 2900 series switches each managed and monitored by our in-house CCIE trained technicians. Gigabit speeds are available from th individual server rigth through to the internet.

Traffic Analysis and Management

AS29527 Network Operations Centre engineers continuously monitor the performance, reliability, and usage of the network by analysing the Sflow (NetFlow) data from our Cisco switches and routers, By comparing current usage (Gb/s and PPS) to historical data and trend analysis, Othello can increase our available bandwidth and meet any increase in demand within seconds.

All clients have 24/7/365 access to detailled transit graphs showing data-transferred, peak usage and 95%ile values. A customised threshold warning system alerts the NOC of anyone approaching their bandwodth limits, so that they can upgrade in advance rather than risk downtime.

Network Protection

The latest in best-of-breed Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Adaptive Firewalls protect us from external DoS and DDoS attacks, mailcious packeting etc. All of our managed services benefit from the latest in anti-spam etchnologies, malware and virus checking plus layer-7 content filtering - ensuring our customers data is the safest in the hosting industry.
