Benefits of NS1 Application Traffic Optimization Solutions
Make APM and Infrastructure Data Feeds Actionable
Connect your monitoring vendors and your infrastructure directly to your DNS to intelligently make routing adjustments on the fly. Our data feeds make it easy to steer traffic based on the tools you’re already using to monitor your network and hardware.
Vendor-Agnostic Traffic Steering
Unlike CDN or cloud provider solutions that are built to best suit their own environments and interests, NS1 provides a neutral, best-of-breed solution that works across all providers, making it easy to implement hybrid and multi-x architectures.
Implement DNSSEC Without Sacrificing Performance
Unlike some other solutions that don’t support DNSSEC and global traffic management at the same time, NS1 has no limitations in using these capabilities together.
Point-and-Click Traffic Management with Filter Chains
Our point-and-click Filter Chain interface makes it easy to implement your business logic in DNS. Filter Chains can combine dozens of powerful traffic steering algorithms that allow you to go beyond simple geography-based traffic routing, including real-user latency measurements, geo-routing with city-level granularity, ASN and IP prefix lists, and even IP-based sticky sessions.
Real-time, Data-driven Traffic Decisions
Pulsar uses real user metrics gathered in real-time to route traffic based on whatever performance KPIs matter most to you. This makes it simple to make data-driven traffic steering decisions using real-time telemetry from your infrastructure, users, and the internet as well as your business priorities and goals (e.g., cost, preferred service provider).
Route Map Technology
Our Route Map technology allows customers to customize Filter Chain policies for specific delivery requirements.
