REDWOOD CITY, Calif. -- Nominum, the world's leading provider of integrated subscriber, network and security solutions for network operators, today announced the Nominum(TM) N2 Platform(TM) and the Nominum IDEAL(TM) ecosystem.

Nominum's software currently processes over one trillion queries per day at over 140 network operators worldwide; a number that far exceeds the combined 6.5 billion "searches," "likes" and "tweets" served by Google, Facebook and Twitter each day. The N2 platform gathers and anonymizes this data allowing application providers' seamless access to it. The N2 Platform makes application development faster, more feature-rich, and easier than building applications from scratch, and offers a lower total cost of ownership. In addition, the N2 platform simplifies the integration of applications with existing network operator systems and coordinates policies between network elements for shorter delivery time to market.

Powered by the N2 platform, the Nominum IDEAL ecosystem of application providers (in-house application teams, third party vendors and others) enables the development and integration of software applications that run on top of the N2 Platform. As a result, network operators can leverage their DNS infrastructure to deploy more highly functional apps more quickly and cost effectively to differentiate their services.

"Traditionally, it's been hard to take advantage of DNS data to gauge network health and activity or improve the subscriber experience. The tools for collecting, synthesizing, anonymizing, and analyzing it weren't adequate," said Nominum's Chairman Dr. Paul Mockapetris, the inventor of the DNS. "The N2 Platform simplifies the process of collecting large amounts of data in real-time and makes it easier to develop new applications and integrate with other network operator systems."
