Active Failover and Global Load Balancing
Namecast has monitoring probes located around the world testing your content servers to ensure maximum uptime. Built with flexibility in mind, our monitoring agents can check your content’s availability based on ICMP, HTTP, HTTPS or TCP monitors, and load balance or fail over between resources based on the result. Load balancing and failover can even be configured to trigger based on download object speed and time of day. Need customized monitoring for your application? Our engineers will work with you to make sure you’re covered. Think of it as insurance for your content. If you need to minimize downtime and optimize performance, then you need Namecast.
Geodirectional Traffic Management
Direct users in North America to your server farm in New York, and users in Europe to your server farm in Paris – or direct your customers to your production site and disallowed visitors to a custom error page with Namecast’s intelligent geographic DNS solution. Namecast’s geographic filtering ensures that your users are directed to the content closest to them. Geographic targeting can be done at the region, country, city or state level.
CDN Load Balancing and Failover
Our CDN Load Balancing services allow you to configure failover and load balancing between CDN providers just as easily as your own origin resources. You can simply round robin or assign different weights between CDN providers, or take advantage of Namecast’s monitoring platform and geographic filters to provide complete control of your content delivery. Want to serve your premium CDN provider at peak traffic hours in one region, and your secondary CDN to everyone else? We can help. Whether you need to direct users between CDN providers based on our standard GLB monitors, time of day, or download object speed, or send them to different CDNs in different regions to maximize performance and availability, Namecast’s platform is up to the job.
Bring Control To The Cloud
Need to balance traffic between multiple CDN providers? Or spool up new cloud server instances on demand into a single virtual pool? With Namecast’s customized software platform, it’s easy to integrate your choice of CDN providers, cloud service providers or managed hosting providers into your DNS service – so www.yourdomain.com can be dynamically updated to point to your web cluster, CDN provider (CNAME balancing), or disaster recovery site, whenever you you need it to, based on your own business logic.
