Reliability & Stability with High Availability Geographically Redundant Hosted DNS
|
Server Intellect's Geographically Redundant Hosted DNS provides enterprise DNS redundancy with a few simple clicks. The Server Intellect Hosted DNS Service is powered by multiple redundant DNS server clusters located in multiple datacenters spread out across the country.
Customers utilizing the Hosted DNS Service can obtain greater uptime, faster DNS response times, and increased reliability. A feature commonly used by large enterprise businesses, the Anycast powered DNS network is now available to all Server Intellect customers absolutely free of charge.
Anycast addressing is a powerful technique for providing redundancy and load sharing to specific types of network services on the Internet. Anycast addressing is nothing more than assigning a common IP address to multiple instances of the same service, which are located at strategic points across the country. By utilizing the underlying routing infrastructure of the Internet, data is forwarded to the nearest instance of an Anycast service. If the nearest routing center is down, another is automatically chosen resulting in maximum availability.

What is DNS?
The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical naming system for computers, services, or any resource participating in the Internet. It associates various information with domain names assigned to such participants.
An often used analogy to explain the Domain Name System is that it serves as the "phone book" for the Internet by translating human-friendly computer hostnames into IP addresses. For example, www.example.com translates to 208.77.188.166.
|
Sites such as Google, Yahoo, and Amazon all make use of this technology. On top of the increased performance and uptime, this all happens behind the scenes unbeknownst to your visitors.

How does a Standard DNS Network work?
Most web hosting providers have a single main datacenter and ultimately store their DNS server in a single datacenter (location). If this location fails, your website will not be operational until the DNS server has been recovered. This could translate into extreme downtime for your business.
How does Server Intellect's Geographically Redundant Hosted DNS Network work?
The Server Intellect solution is to use redundant DNS Server clusters spread out across the country in multiple carrier-class datacenter facilities. When the web user makes a request for a website that is utilizing Server Intellect's Hosted DNS solution, the Anycast network will seek out the closest DNS Server location with the best response time, ensuring decreased latency and maximum performance. In the event of a network or datacenter failure, your website's DNS will not be affected, as it will be mirrored in at least three redundant locations across the country.
