Why DigiCert?Your problems answered.100% uptime, all the time.digicert.com+1 703.880.3095 sales@dnsmadeeasy.com All rights reserved DigiCert 2024GLOBAL NETWORKUPTIMESUPPORTOutperforming the CompetitionDNS Trust Manager combines the reassurance of a 15-year legacy network (DNS Made Easy) that has consistently outperformed the competition with intelligent traffic routing services that can dynamically adapt to network conditions and resource performance.Proprietary SoftwareWe designed DNS Trust Manager with a completely new, custom code base that allows us to do amazing things that DNS Made Easy (and other legacy services) could never accomplish. Such as proprietary name server software that allows us to implement a number of advanced features not possible with a standard RFC-compliant name server software.Innovative + Smart SolutionsThis technology opened the doors for innovative solutions for managing multi-CDN architectures and globally distributed cloud services, such as our Traffic Steering service. Traffic Steering uses a combination of advanced DNS routing rules and Real-User Monitoring to optimize how traffic is routed to your resources based on the current state of the Internet.Fueled by DataTraffic Steering, as well as many of the features in the DNS Trust Manager suite, are fueled by data we’ve gathered from our natively integrated monitoring service that we call Sonar.Adaptable TroubleshootingSonar hosts a suite of crucial network monitoring services and troubleshooting tools that can easily be used to inform your DNS routing configurations and help you automatically adapt to changing network conditions.

Load BalancingCreating INTELLIGENT TRAFFIC DISTRIBUTION for high availability and low latency. DNS Load Balancing distributes your query trafﬁc across multiple resources on resource availability and performance.digicert.com+1 703.880.3095 sales@dnsmadeeasy.com All rights reserved DigiCert 2024Load balancing is commonly used to manage traffic flow between redundant systems, such as web servers or CDN services. All systems in the configuration are always "live" and each handles a share of incoming traffic. That way, if one system is unavailable, the rest will take over the load with no appreciable impact to end-users.These kinds of multi-cloud architecture have sky-rocketed in popularity over the past years, thanks to advances in DNS management which have made load balancing across multiple cloud services significantly more affordable and accessible than traditional hardware load balancers.DNS Trust Manager takes load balancing one step further, by letting you inject your own custom logic into your configurations. You can apply rules that optimize traffic flow based on resource performance, cost, and network topography. Or write your own rules based on the querying client's location or network.Multiple Ways to Set Up Load Balancing:Multi-Value (Weighted and Round Robin) -Load-Balancing with Health Checking -(Single Value Failover or Multi-Value) Latency-Based Load Balancing -Regional Load Balancing -

Real User MonitoringReal User Monitoring (RUM), is a network monitoring service that gives you a direct line of sight into how your website or application loads on actual users’ browsers.You can use RUM to get a more granular view of localized response times for your web-facing resources. Additionally, you can improve your response times by injecting RUM data into your DNS configurations with our intelligent Traffic Steering service. Traffic Steering decisions can be made based on your user data or our community-driven data set.All you need is the ability to insert JavaScript snippet on your website or application. Then sit back, and watch the data come in as your RUM gathers user metrics in real time!You can use RUM to solve the “middle of the country” issue and fill in performance gaps that can’t be fixed with GeoDNS or synthetic latency monitoring.digicert.com+1 703.880.3095 sales@dnsmadeeasy.com All rights reserved DigiCert 2024DNS Trust Manager Real User Monitoring allows you to capture user and community data in real time.Sonar can operate independently as a standalone monitoring service for enterprise-scale networks and distributed applications.
