Today’s World

Dynamic, Distributed Applications
• Many locations for the same content
• Services and infrastructure are dynamically provisioned
• Scale – billions of users • Speed – very low end user
tolerance for delay• Explosion of applications• Infrastructure as code
Delivery Gap
• Traditional DNS: Minimal support for application delivery optimization.
Deployment Gap
• Traditional DNS: Minimal DevOpssupport – no native orchestration or APIs for record instantiation and service discovery.

Why do all this with DNS?
•Pervasive: part of every application, used by every client
•Lightweight: no application / architecture changes, no hardware / software

The Traditional DNS Paradigm
Traditional DNS
• One server end point• Simple transaction• Static content

• Proprietary extensions to legacy solution.
• Bound by simple geographic routing and availability monitoring (if available)

TopologyHealthLoadTraffic
• Modern DNS traffic management should use live metrics.
• Infrastructure telemetry is an untapped resource that provides a heartbeat, status and other key data.
Leveraging Infrastructure Telemetry
SLIDE 13
LatencyThroughputReachability
• Modern DNS should leverage key metrics around network performance
• Latency, throughput, and reachability are easily extrapolated from 3rd party monitoring or native eyeball networks.

What Makes NS1 Different From Every Other DNS
• Meta Data: Attach static and real time information to each answer in a DNS record
• Filter Chain: Use the meta data to apply traffic management logic to steer users to the optimal end point
SLIDE 16
• KPI Driven Traffic Management• Latency Optimized• Bandwidth Optimized• Cost Optimized• Policy Based
Filter Chain™ Technology
“NS1 is a critical component of our application architecture. We’ve seen amazing performance from the platform, enabling us to deliver a flawless experience to our customers’ end users”
- Julien Lemoine, CTOAlgolia “
SLIDE 17
Meta-Data Drives Intelligence:
• Geo and Network (ASN)• Up/Down Status• Latency • Bandwidth• Capacity• Load (current connections)• Cost
Build A Smarter Internet Using Data
“I’ve never seen another DNS service quite like NS1. I feel that their data-driven approach, combined with their incredible flexibility, makes them the next generation DNS host.”
- Alan Schaaf, CEO, Imgur (Alexa Top 50 Global Traffic)
