“I want it now!”—This isn’t just a phrase spoiled children sing; it’s what we demand every time we click a link, stream video content or access an online application.
As internet traffic grows in volume and complexity, our expectations for faster response times from the services and content we use rises. We often click away if instant results aren’t provided. For businesses delivering applications and services, the fierce urgency of “now” is a logistical headache. Internet traffic must navigate different clouds, content delivery networks (CDNs) and other core services on the back end. Achieving consistently high performance requires an efficient routing system, optimizing traffic between the services your application depends on.
IBM® NS1 Connect® uses the power of domain name systems (DNS) to automatically steer traffic to the best-performing service available, enabling you to meet user expectations. IBM® NS1® employs simple rules and monitoring data to dynamically switch endpoints, all based on your preset rules and priorities. In NS1 Connect, NS1 traffic steering configurations apply to individual DNS zone records. These configurations determine how NS1 Connect handles queries for each record, determining which answers to provide. Various filter chains use unique logic to process queries, enabling you to create combinations that are tailored to your operational or business needs.
Optimizing application performance can vary by business and NS1 Connect offers different traffic steering options:
In summary, IBM NS1 Connect offers a range of traffic steering options to meet diverse business needs to help ensure optimal application performance in the “now” era.
