Traffic Management (GSLB)
Overview
DTM is a DNS-based global server load balancer. The Excedo DNS powered by Dynect Platform directs Internet traffic based on a combination of user geography and available capacity at a specific site. Load balancing and failover rules are configured via the simple web interface, enabling our sophisticated monitoring to detect failure and automatically route Internet traffic to available servers in addition to sending an alert to system administrators. You could use DTM to create content overlay networks. You bring the cloud or content environment and we direct the traffic.
How does it work?
Direct people where you want, when you want. Do you have a server in Europe? Would you like to direct your European customers to that server? DTM will help you do that, easily and without any capital costs.
