Boston Childrens Museum Selects OpenDNS Finds Service Great Easy and...



OpenDNS, the award-winning navigation service that makes the Internet safer, faster, smarter and more reliable, today announced Boston Children's Museum has switched to OpenDNS from its default DNS service in an effort to make the Internet safer for its youth patrons. Boston Children's Museum is one of the oldest children's museums in the country, helping children learn about the world they live in for more than 90 years. OpenDNS is the world's-largest, fastest-growing DNS service.



Boston Children's Museum staffers aim to provide a safe environment where children can learn in a hands-on, creative manner. For this reason and others, they looked no further than OpenDNS when seeking a Web content filtering solution that is powerful, reliable and easy to use for network administrators. As an added bonus, the service also makes the Internet at the museum more reliable, freeing its patrons and staff from annoying, intermittent outages. Since making the switch to OpenDNS, the museum, which hosts more than a half-million visitors per year, has enjoyed both a safer Internet and 100 percent DNS uptime.



Furthermore, OpenDNS upholds the commitment the museum maintains to be environmentally friendly. Other Web content filtering solutions require both a piece of hardware and electricity to power it. As a network solution, OpenDNS works in the cloud, requiring no hardware and no electricity.



All in all, OpenDNS has proved to be the perfect tool for Boston Children's Museum and the organization hasn't looked back since making the switch.



"OpenDNS is great, easy and effective" said Sam Curalov, System Engineer at the museum. "I would certainly recommend OpenDNS to others."
