Explore the power of IBM's authoritative DNS

Improve reliability and resilience

 

Experience the power of authoritative DNS service to keep users connected and revenue flowing with a global anycast network featuring a 100% DNS uptime service level agreement (SLA).

DNS servers can be subject to attacks that deny access to domains, overwhelm servers with traffic or take over DNS infrastructure. NS1 provides built-in resilience against distributed denial of service or DDoS attacks, including volumetric DDoS surges for improved DNS security. For added resilience, an optional single-tenant redundant domain name system (DNS) layer is also available.

Optimize DNS infrastructure

 

Your anycast DNS solution needs to have advanced, customisable traffic steering, Real User Monitoring (RUM), global server load balancing (GSLB DNS) and multi CDN capabilities to help ensure that you can deliver applications, services and content with the performance your users expect.

Enhance DNS with network observability


Automate DNS management and gain real-time visibility with the IBM® NS1 Connect® API. Streamline primary and secondary DNS tasks while integrating observability tools to detect, diagnose, and resolve issues faster—reducing manual effort and improving operational resilience.
