PowerDNS, founded in the year 2000 together with ZEP Holding, is the premier database driven DNS server. In addition, the PowerDNS Recursor provides high-speed robust resolution, with unparalleled and low-overhead scripting.

In 2011, PowerDNS gained innovative DNSSEC 'fire & forget' support, which within a year became the dominant DNSSEC implementation in Scandinavia.

As of 2012, the Authoritative Server powers around 30%-50% of all domains in many important parts of the world, including Europe. In addition, hundreds of millions of users are served by the PowerDNS Recursor.

PowerDNS is developed and supported by Netherlabs.

In 2006, together with Fox-IT, we launched Fox Replay BV to provide law enforcement agencies with innovative packet analysis solutions.

In 2011, Fox Replay BV was acquired by NetScout Systems Inc (Nasdaq: NTCT).

In 2008-2009, we authored RFC 5452 for the DNSEXT working group of the IETF. This Internet Standards Track RFC specifies how DNS Resolvers should protect themselves against various forms of attacks.

In 1997, Casema (these days known as Ziggo) was the first cable internet provider in Delft, The Netherlands.

As part of the original team, we helped scale Casema Internet from 50 to 50000 users – a very large number at the time. This led to the commercial development of 'Pinguin', a very early interactive service level monitoring application for the Casema cable modem userbase. Pinguin was subsequently licensed to two other cable companies.
