The bible on DNS. This picture is the latest edition published by O'Reilly Media, Inc.
Here is a book titled "DNS & BIND" (photo 1). I was given this book by Department Manager Yoshinori Sekine during the unforgettable summer of 1995 when I was suffering from a sense of stagnation. It can be called a document that opened the world of IP telephony from the world of conventional switching equipment. After reading this book, I wondered what would happen to voice communication when the Internet spreads globally. At this time, I became certain of the potential of voice packets and realized that the key technology was to establish quality of voice packets. When reading this book, I remember being stirred by the technology and network of the Internet and was able to hold a dream of the future. I will never forget the electricity I felt running through my spine.
OKI holds an image of a company that manufactures products precisely based on the orders received. This is true to a certain extent. But the company is also open-minded and welcomes new challenges where there is a will. In my closing remarks, I would like to bring this series to an end by expressing my gratitude to Operations Department Manager Sugimoto (at the time in 1995, currently Executive Director) who gave me the opportunity to develop VoIP and Assistant Manager Asai (currently Operating Officer) who taught me to have faith in what I do and finish what must be done as my instructor when I first joined OKI.
