NEW DELHI, INDIA: VeriSign Inc. today announced its plans to locate a new Regional Internet Resolution Site (RIRS) in India.

The new site will help support Internet traffic for .com and .net, and help provide Internet users in India with enhanced performance.

VeriSign said in a statement that this move is part of Project Titan, its multi-year initiative to strengthen the critical Internet infrastructure and expand its capacity tenfold by the year 2010.

"The recent connectivity issues in Asia have demonstrated the severe impact outages and disruptions have on the global community—placing an increasing burden on having reliable and secure infrastructure," said Ken Silva, chief technical officer for VeriSign.

"Because of our Project Titan strategy, VeriSign's servers were still able to process and receive queries during the Internet outage. The placement of a RIRS in India is part of VeriSign's continuing commitment to expanding and strengthening the global Internet infrastructure that so many rely on for their communications and commerce needs," he added.

VeriSign's Project Titan will increase its daily DNS query capacity from 400 billion a day to more than 4 trillion a day and will increase the aggregate network bandwidth of its primary resolution sites from over 20 gigabits per second (Gbps) to greater than 200 Gbps per second.

VeriSign also plans to expand its deployment of RIRSs similar to the one being deployed in India, to more than 100 locations across the globe by 2010.
