Columbus Museum of Art Selects OpenDNS as its Primary Web Content-Filtering Solution

OpenDNS, the award-winning DNS provider that makes the Internet safer, faster, smarter and more reliable, announced the Columbus Museum of Art has chosen the service as its sole Web content-filtering solution and deployed it across its entire network. The Columbus Museum of Art employs 125 people and houses a premier collection of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century American and European modern art. OpenDNS is the system administrator-recommended, world's largest and fastest-growing DNS service.

OpenDNS provides the Columbus Museum of Art with a comprehensive Web-content filtering solution that requires no hardware to purchase and nothing to download and install. The Museum is using OpenDNS to block fraudulent or "phishing" Web sites aiming to steal personal information and adult Web sites containing content unsuitable for its working environment. The content-filtering functionality is in addition to speeding Web site load times and making the Internet for the Museum more reliable overall, and ridding it of intermittent, DNS-related outages.

"We switched primarily for the content-filtering aspect and speed," said Thomas Deliduka, Director of Information Technology for the Columbus Museum of Art. "The blocking of unsavory sites is our No. 1 benefit. But being able to see how much traffic we actually use is very good too."

The Columbus Museum of Art is leveraging other OpenDNS features as well, including typo correction and corporate branding of the OpenDNS Guide, or the page seen when someone on its network attempts to visit a Web site that doesn't exist or is otherwise not resolving. OpenDNS is set up as a relay from the Museum's internal primary and secondary DNS servers.
