Cotendo Advanced DNS
Streamlined, globally distributed DNS with sophisticated configuration controls
The challenge
When mapping names and IP addresses, inefficient request processing can impede effective scaling and impact Internet content delivery. Inconsistent service availability frustrates end users, affecting clicks, site loyalty, brand integrity and monetization.
Cotendo’s answer
A globally distributed service for DNS resolution, Cotendo Advanced DNS reduces latency, scales seamlessly for every audience size and geography, and enhances service availability. In addition, the distributed service model provides an additional layer of security for your website and web applications.
Features and benefits
Multiple efficiency gains boost end-user experience
Cotendo ADNS simplifies the path for resolving DNS requests by using Cotendo’s nearest point of presence (POP). Geo-based DNS resolution means a user’s browser can access your website or Web service faster and start receiving content faster. Additionally, using Cotendo ADNS in conjunction with Cotendo Content Delivery further increases efficiency by eliminating another step in DNS resolution.
Redundancy in Cotendo’s distributed network assures business continuity
Redundancy both at each Cotendo point of presence (POP) and throughout Cotendo’s distributed global network assures business continuity, because any Cotendo POP can resolve a query. Cotendo ADNS also provides an additional layer of security by enabling DNS resolution via multiple locations. Cotendo’s proprietary server was built from the ground up to provide superior performance and as such is immune to the vulnerabilities of existing DNS servers.
Cotendo’s proprietary performance software also insulates your DNS from the known and potential vulnerabilities of open-source solutions. If you seek additional oversight, Cotendo Site Assure offers a robust monitoring and failover system with automated DNS balancing capabilities.
Granular control of geo-based DNS resolution provides scalability
Geo-based DNS resolution via Cotendo’s distributed global network gives you scalable performance. Additionally, real-time control of sophisticated DNS configurations helps you dynamically balance server loads, a capability you augment using Cotendo CDN Balancer.
