Keep your applications online all the time

IBM NS1 Connect offers multiple automated failover options with a single-tenant dedicated DNS system, automatically steers DNS traffic around disruptions and maintenance windows, provides resilient DNS network protections and massive scale against DDoS attacks, and delivers curated analysis of DNS performance.
Implement DNS network redundancy

Avoid single-threaded networks with an innovative infrastructure that integrates seamlessly with primary or secondary DNS options. Add dedicated DNS for a single-tenant, always-on failover.
Improve DNS network performance

Use DNS performance monitoring with real-time analytics to ensure network resilience. Use DNS data to spot bottlenecks and misconfigurations before they cause network downtime.
Ensure DNS network resilience

With a 100% uptime SLA for DNS resolution, IBM® NS1 Connect® keeps applications always available. Integrate DNS uptime monitoring to steer traffic past service disruptions in real time.
Protect against DDoS attacks

Built for scale and fortified against volumetric cyberthreats, IBM NS1 Connect ensures your applications stay online—even while being attacked.
