Registry system
The Distributed Domain Administration - New Generation (DSDng) system is used for administration of the .cz and 0.2.4.e164.arpa (ENUM) domains. The system was developed by CZ.NIC during 2006 and 2007. On 1/10/2007, the DSDng replaced the older DSD system. More informateion are available here.
Network infrastructure
The distributed registration system solution is deployed in three parallel and independent locations, with all network connections backed up by two independent routes. Two locations have their own independent connection both into the two peering centre nodes - NIX.CZ and to the abroad, the third location has the connection to peering centre NIX.SK and to abroad as well. All connections use IPv4 and IPv6 protocol.

Uninterrupted DNS operation is ensured by a set of secondary nameservers. For both zones administered by the register, these servers are at the two above locations and at other locations throughout Europe and world-wide, see the diagram below.
Platform diversity is key priority. The secondary nameservers have different DNS implementations (KnotDNS, BIND and NSD). The network infrastructure in our locations is also based on different technology (Cisco, Juniper and Intel).
FRED
The registration system uses an open-source application called FRED - Free Registry for ENUM and Domains. FRED is available at https://fred.nic.cz under a GNU GPL license.
