The Domain Name System has been around almost as long as the Internet itself, and throughout that time it has remained one of the most critical pieces of the application delivery stack. But over the decades, as other technology — connectivity, browsers, databases — has marched onward, DNS has remained mostly an afterthought, the “phonebook of the Internet” that is simply there and not of much interest.
NSONE, a data driven managed DNS provider, has started to change all that, giving DNS the attention it deserves and bringing innovative new ideas to this critical piece of Internet infrastructure. NSONE operates a world class anycasted IP network spanning five continents, ensuring 100% uptime and quick DNS responses. But beyond just low latency reliable delivery, NSONE’s platform is built from the ground up to enable a new approach to traffic management with DNS.
NSONE’s unique Filter Chain technology hits a sweet spot of power, flexibility, and usability in configuring complex, application specific traffic shaping algorithms perfectly suited to any application and network. And the Filter Chain acts on real-time data about your infrastructure, using NSONE’s Data Feeds to instantly deliver system metrics and other actionable data to the edges of the NSONE platform.
