Reliable Hardware for Always-On Systems
HSMs, Anycast-ready servers, network appliances, and rack-level builds — selected and stress-tested by a team that runs production registries around the clock.
Where Every Component Counts
A single hardware failure in a registry environment can cascade into SLA breaches, ICANN audit findings, and lost trust. That's why ADG doesn't just resell equipment — we specify, validate, and deploy hardware informed by the same standards we use for our own ICANN-evaluated operations.
Whether you're standing up a brand-new TLD stack, hardening an existing facility, or rolling out DNSSEC signing capabilities, our provisioning team ensures every component is field-proven and purpose-matched.
What We Supply
Curated hardware selected for regulatory compliance, uptime, and longevity.
Hardware Security Modules (HSM)
Tamper-resistant cryptographic processors for DNSSEC key custody, TLS certificate signing, and secure key ceremonies — meeting FIPS 140-2 Level 3+ requirements out of the box.
- FIPS 140-2 Level 3+ compliance
- KSK / ZSK lifecycle management
- Multi-party key ceremony workflows
- Active-passive HSM clustering
Name Server Appliances
Purpose-configured servers optimized for Anycast DNS workloads: low-latency packet processing, error-correcting memory, and sustained write throughput for large zone files.
- Anycast-tuned configurations
- ECC RAM for silent-error prevention
- NVMe-backed zone storage
- Out-of-band IPMI/iDRAC access
Perimeter & DDoS Defense
Inline scrubbing appliances, stateful firewalls, and traffic-aware load distributors — engineered to absorb volumetric floods without dropping legitimate queries.
- Inline DDoS scrubbing devices
- Next-gen stateful firewalls
- L4/L7 traffic distributors
- IDS / IPS sensor arrays
Rack & Facility Builds
End-to-end rack integration: dual-feed power, environmental sensors, structured cabling, and biometric access — all designed for Tier 3+ deployments and ICANN audits.
- 2N redundant power feeds
- Temperature & humidity telemetry
- Labeled structured cabling
- Biometric cabinet locks
