Decision: SmartCache for everyone.
SmartCache is one of our most significant innovations. It's an intelligent technology that makes websites that are down for everyone else on the Internet load for people using OpenDNS in many cases. We invented SmartCache and hear from you often that it's this kind of innovation that we're known for, and maybe even one of the reasons you choose our service.
When we launched OpenDNS Deluxe and Enterprise a month ago, we moved SmartCache into the "only available to subscribers" bucket of features. Any Basic (or free) users who had SmartCache enabled would keep there ability to manage the feature, but going forward it would only appear available to new paying subscribers. Many of you wrote in to express your concern about our decision: You made the case that SmartCache is core to our DNS service, and something that makes switching from your ISP's DNS to OpenDNS very compelling.
We heard you loud and clear and have made a decision: everyone gets SmartCache, whether you're among the 1,500 Deluxe and Enterprise subscribers or the millions of users of our free service. We invite everyone to log into their account and turn it on. Enjoy. :)
Give OpenDNS Deluxe this holiday season. Just $9.95 US.
If you use OpenDNS today, chances are your friends, family and neighbors probably already come to you for technology advice. So what better gift to give them this holiday season than a subscription to OpenDNS Deluxe?
OpenDNS Deluxe will not only make their Internet safer by blocking phishing scams and other dangerous sites, but it will give them more than 50 categories of content in the easiest-to-use Parental Controls solution available. And it'll make their network faster and more reliable, possibly reducing the number of times they call you asking for help. :)
The Gift of Safe — OpenDNS Deluxe — is just $9.95 US. Heck, give it to everyone on your list!
Webinar: Filtering contract expiring? Switch to OpenDNS Enterprise.
It's the end of the year, which means lots of technology contracts are set to expire. We know many of you are weighing the cost of renewing your contract with Websense, Blue Coat, ScanSafe, Barracuda, Lightspeed and others.
We want to make the decision to switch to OpenDNS Enterprise very easy for you. Attend this short 30 minute webinar and learn how to shed your other filtering solution and switch to OpenDNS Enterprise in 3 easy steps. You'll hear from CTO David Ulevitch and Sales Engineer Brian Hartvigsen how to make the switch, and also how to take advantage of OpenDNS's DNS-based solution and accomplish things never before possible, such as effectively blocking P2P traffic and managing filtering settings over the Web for multiple office or store locations.
The webinar is December 2, 2009 at 10 am PST. Sign up here.
Customer Spotlight: The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
One of OpenDNS's sweet spots is organizations with many locations, such as retail and restaurant chains. So it's no surprise that The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, the oldest and largest privately-held chain of specialty coffee and tea stores in the United States, found OpenDNS a perfect solution for its free in-store WiFi.
Since the company deployed OpenDNS across WiFi hotspots at all The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf locations, the restaurant chain and its customers have enjoyed a significantly faster and more reliable Internet connection — to date, OpenDNS has provided The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf 100% uptime, freeing its customers of annoying interruptions to their Internet connectivity and making them overall more productive when doing work online at a The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf store. OpenDNS has also made the Internet safer for The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf patrons, by protecting them from fraudulent "phishing" Web sites and blocking unsafe or inappropriate content.
New Updater Client — Logging, UI improvements, DNS-O-Matic.
We're pleased to release the latest and greatest version of the OpenDNS Updater for Windows. Among the many improvements in this version are DNS-O-Matic support (you asked for it, you got it), UI improvements that make it easier to use, and more logging for better diagnostics.
