IBM NS1 Connect webinars

100% uptime isn’t just an aspiration - it’s a business imperative. Meeting this high bar requires not only resilient network services, but also redundant layers which can account for inevitable performance gaps. Unfortunately, adding redundant DNS systems can introduce undue complexity and management challenges. In this webinar you’ll learn why 100% uptime often requires separated, redundant DNS failover systems and how network administrators can address complexity by managing resilient DNS systems through a single control plane through NS1’s Dedicated DNS offering.

HTTPS keeps most websites and applications secure. Unfortunately, redirecting HTTPS domains is a lot harder than it should be. The data sits in multiple places and isn’t always managed in a consistent way. As a result, network teams sometimes have to juggle three or more data systems just to perform a (supposedly simple) HTTPS redirect. In this webinar, we’ll show how easy it is to manage HTTPS redirects using a new feature in IBM NS1 Connect. We’ll demonstrate the simplicity of managing URL redirects, DNS configurations, and security certificates in a single portal experience.

DNS traffic steering is an essential component of optimized user experiences. If you’re serving up applications and content from multiple clouds and/or CDNs, traffic steering lowers costs, improves response times, and ensures resilience by drawing from the best source for that particular moment. While the benefits of traffic steering are clear, configuring the systems that make it work can be a bit intimidating at first. In this webinar, we’ll offer an accessible introduction to DNS traffic steering with NS1’s own Filter Chain technology. We’ll run through a variety of use cases for traffic steering and show how Filter Chains deliver optimized network performance in each case.

Optimizing DNS connections is one of the most important steps to improving performance, keeping customers engaged, and protecting revenue and reputation. But what’s the best way to optimize DNS connections? To answer this question, Catchpoint and IBM joined forces to create a unique, first-of-its-kind study of real-world DNS performance. In this webinar, we’ll present the findings of this groundbreaking new study.

The move to hybrid cloud and automating network infrastructure processes has given organizations more flexibility than ever in how they run their business-critical applications. However, many personnel issues and application connectivity challenges remain for optimizing how the network performs for companies’ biggest moments as they mature their infrastructure. AvidThink and IBM will be unveiling the findings of new research about network teams’ challenges and opportunities now and in the future. Join Roy Chua, Founder and Principal at AvidThink and Terry Bernstein, Sr. Director of Product Management for IBM NS1 Connect to learn more about the state of network teams.

In this webinar, we’ll see how DNS and Real User Monitoring (RUM) data offer an attractive solution for load-balancing teams looking for greater functionality at a lower cost. We’ll look at how DNS and RUM-based Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) solutions compare with traditional in-line load balancers, along with other commonly used options such as Web Application Firewalls (WAFs), cloud-based Elastic Load Balancers (ELBs)/Application Load Balancers (ALBs) and custom built in-house solutions.
