DNS geo routing is a commonly used technique for connecting users to the closest web site or application point of presence. Most DNS services offer geo routing but not all are created equal. What they do and how they do it matters for performance and manageability. In addition,geo routing alone may not deliver the performance targets your business needs.

In this webinar you will learn:

• How georouting works on different DNS providers and what you should look for.
• Geo-targeting vs Geo-fencing.
• Why georouting often does not provide the best response and how to know if that is impacting your business.
• How you can improve application performance by combining georouting with active traffic steering on the NS1 platform.

Cloud architectures, microservices, and infrastructure scale have exposed unmet needs in DNS that now hamper modernization efforts,including the need for flexible traffic management, service discovery, rapid propagation, and comprehensive API support.

In this webinar, we discuss Private DNS, NS1's next-gen software only DNS that helps solve the performance, traffic management and automation challenges of modern enterprises.

Private DNS is designed primarily for deployment within enterprise intranets to meet the needs of user-to-user, user to device/application and application to application communication. It's massively scalable, automated, fast and smart.

Join us if you’d like to learn how Private DNS can:-

• Reduce deployment delays in DevOps.
• Speed up DNS service discovery.
• Improve traffic management and load balancing.
• Get your DNS sprawl under control.

Fundamental changes are taking place in enterprise IT. The first is how applications are deployed – from application architectures through the processes of code, integration, test and production. The second is how applications are delivered. Enterprises are adopting distributed infrastructures using public cloud, edge networks and private cloud for better performance, uptime and efficiency. In almost every industry, achieving competitive advantage through applications is driving IT transformation.

Online applications and services, from ecommerce to government services, increasingly address a global audience. These services require a globally-distributed architecture that is optimized to deliver a high-quality user experience. Traffic optimization solutions based on managed DNS services are a critical component of such distributed architecture. They offer an efficient method for optimizing globally-distributed architectures for both end-user performance and cost.

When these optimization services are able to make traffic management decisions based on real-time performance analytics, they become immensely more valuable and effective. They allow application owners to build traffic optimization policies that are based on real-time network conditions, rather than purely static conditions like geography. Combining real-time performance data with cost metrics enables application services to be optimized for performance and cost.

This white paper examines why operators of online services should leverage managed traffic optimization services that use a combination of real-time data feeds, including real user measurements (RUM), active and passive monitoring, and location-based information. It briefly reviews NS1’s Pulsar RUM analytics and Managed DNS traffic management platform.

For businesses that need to deliver Internet-scale performance and reliability for high-volume, mission-critical applications, NS1 is a comprehensive DNS and traffic management platform that uses infrastructure data to make intelligent routing decisions in real time. Unlike traditional DNS technologies that are fractured and rudimentary, NS1’s dynamic, data-driven platform and unique Filter Chain routing engine were purpose-built for the most demanding applications on the internet.

Many enterprises are finding it increasingly difficult to deliver a consistently high quality end user experience to a global online audience using a single Content Delivery Network (CDN). CDN providers have different strengths and weaknesses so it is unsurprising when a single provider does not adequately address the needs of a global online organization.

The good news is there are plenty of CDN providers to choose from, and by leveraging the right combination of providers, enterprises can simultaneously improve end user quality of experience while lowering costs. The means to achieve this goal is based on the ability to intelligently steer traffic to the right CDN at the right time.

Join our live hands-on webinar to learn how to plan, implement, and test a multi-CDN strategy that's right for your organization.

Many cloud and CDN providers also offer in-house managed DNS services. If you are hosting your content or applications with these providers, you might use their DNS service without much thought. However, this can limit your ability to deliver the performance and customer experience your business needs.

In this webinar you will learn when and why you should use an independent DNS provider.

As you build your application environment you've undoubtedly thought about utilizing multiple providers at every level of your stack. The benefits to this are obvious - scalability, redundancy, and performance optimization, among others. However, syncing multiple providers can sometimes pose challenges.

In this webinar we'll focus on synchronization between multiple DNS providers, including:

• Available toolsets on the market today
• Example deployment using NS1's OctoDNS integration
• Example deployment using NS1's Terraform integration
• Network redundancy using NS1's Dedicated DNS

While no two businesses have the same exact workload requirements, one common trend we are seeing is enterprise adoption of multi-cloud infrastructure. While this may not be something you have considered, multi-cloud may benefit you in several ways including:

• Price flexibility
• Scalability
• Redundancy
• Workload optimization
• Performance

Join us to learn how multi-cloud can benefit your business, considerations you should make, and how to get started.
