Application Traffic RoutingDDIHow Edge DNS GSLB complements LB/ADCEdge DNS GSLB (Global Server Load Balancing) is a great solution for enabling global application traffic routing and is therefore very complementary to all ADC load-balancing solutions installed directly in datacenters for improving performance and redundancy. This blog article focuses especially on the combined benefits of using both technologies to provide more value to the users and help ease the work of I&O teams. The role of a load balancer (LB) or application delivery controller (ADC) is mainly to distribute...
Application Traffic RoutingDDIDNSDNS GSLB & Service Mesh for Continuous DeliveryFor users to access their applications, DNS resolution to determine the destination and IP routing to find the path are mandatory. The application modules and services should be exposed on the servers or facilitator equipment such as a load-balancer. For static installation of applications onto servers, DNS configuration and load-balancing are quite easy, but in modern software architecture based on decoupling and microservices, it is more dynamic and therefore far more complex. This is where service mesh and Edge DNS...

There are domains where software requires a high level of quality since any major bug can lead to high service impact. At EfficientIP we are developing such a strategic solution – to put in place a digital testing factory that helps us release stable versions with minimal regression impact. Why do we need a digital testing factory? Our factory is embedded in the development process and serves the following objective:...
Application Traffic RoutingDDIEdge DNS GSLB for Corporate CDN: Improving UX and BandwidthAs previously described in our ”Predictions 2020” blog, workloads will progressively move this year from central cloud locations to edge ones. Digital transformation and new usages like device data collection, augmented reality or contextual video advertising are requiring more capacity from IP networks and shorter delays, which may be incompatible with cloud computing. In this context, Edge DNS GSLB is a very simple solution for intelligently directing users to their local computing resources, thus improving both UX and bandwidth utilization....

Application Traffic RoutingDDIHow Edge DNS GSLB Ensures App Availability During WAN FailureDetecting IP path failures on enterprise networks is becoming increasingly complex with SD-WAN and multi-cloud approaches. Regardless of the way networking and hosting is being performed by the IT guys, users need to always be able to use their applications, so it’s absolutely vital to circumvent WAN failure scenarios. Edge DNS GSLB (Global Server Load Balancing) is a great solution for this. DNS already plays a crucial part in the user to application binding process. Adding GSLB functionality to DNS...
Application Traffic RoutingDDIDNSIPAMGSLB & Automated Application DeploymentDeployment or migration of applications in multi-cloud infrastructures can be made simpler and faster by using GSLB configuration to connect users to the newly-released app. When automation is used in the context of application continuous deployment, making use of an automated DDI (DNS-DHCP-IPAM) solution which is capable of also handling applications is really valuable. This is what EfficientIP brings to automation teams with its application repository and its edge DNS GSLB solution. The multi-cloud mix of internal and external infrastructure...
DDIInternet of ThingsIPAMVirtualization & CloudCloud to the Edge Brings IP Space ComplexityThe future of cloud computing is near the edge. Edge computing brings compute and storage at the network perimeter, closer to usages. According to the ECCE (Edge Computing Consortium Europe) “The Edge Computing paradigm describes an approach to execute certain services closer to devices and thereby supplements centralized Cloud Computing solutions”. However, this new architecture approach brings with it infrastructure and network challenges. Included in this context of increased complexity are the IPAM repository and network functions such as DNS...
Application Traffic RoutingDDIDNSApplication Traffic Routing with DNS GSLBApplication delivery to users is key in the digital transformation of enterprise processes. With the growing complexity of networks, hosting and application architecture, users still need to be directed to the best available component of the application. This is a challenge EfficientIP has accepted, and our DNS GSLB solution provides the answer with intelligent application traffic routing feature. IT systems have been shaken by multiple new approaches. Hybrid multi-cloud tends to distribute the workload on the most convenient and efficient...
