Sands Auto Group’s Internet Engine Races with OpenDNS
SysAdmin Chooses OpenDNS for Five-location Automotive Dealership
Jun 6, 2007 — SAN FRANCISCO – OpenDNS, the award-winning DNS provider that makes the Internet safer, faster, smarter and more reliable, today announced Sands Auto Group is using OpenDNS instead of the faulty and unreliable DNS service it gets by default from its ISP. Sands Auto Group is an American five-location automotive dealership selling new and used Chrysler, Dodge, Ford, Jeep Nissan and Suzuki cars and trucks. OpenDNS is the world’s largest, fastest-growing DNS service.
Pennsylvania-based Sands Auto Group has a fast-moving staff of 80 employees who rely on the Internet to access information quickly and efficiently. If the Internet is temporarily inaccessible due to an intermittent DNS outage, sales efforts are slowed. OpenDNS provides the Sands Auto Group system administrator peace of mind about Internet availability and an array of user benefits like phishing protection, custom domain blocking and typo correction.
Since switching to OpenDNS, Sands Auto Group has enjoyed 100 percent Internet uptime and Erik Kayhart, System Administrator at Sands Auto Group, says the Internet experience at Sands is noticeably better than at other automotive dealerships and companies.
“OpenDNS is great,” said Kayhart. “It’s always fast, it’s always available, and it is a great help with commonly made typos.”
