DynConD client-side GSLB

The DynConD client-side GSLB is a software solution used by replicated and distributed network services to enhance user experience and achieve global server load balancing. According to the vendor, this product caters to companies of all sizes and provides high availability and instant failover for their network services. The DynConD client-side GSLB is utilized by IT professionals, network administrators, cloud service providers, e-commerce companies, and content delivery networks (CDNs).

Key Features

Better server selection process: According to the vendor, DynConD uses a unique Dynamic Server Selection process that considers the measured network distance between the client and servers, server service response time, and server load. This is said to enable the client to independently select the optimal server, resulting in an improved user experience.

High availability / Instant failover: The DynConD DNS client library performs real-time server availability checks during the DNS resolution process. The vendor claims that this feature detects unavailable servers before deciding on the optimal server, ensuring high availability and instant failover, even in the presence of single points of failure or during server maintenance.

Measured network distances: The vendor states that DynConD accurately measures the network distances between the client and each server, providing precise information instead of relying on geolocation approximation used by traditional GSLB solutions. This is said to enable more accurate server selection based on network proximity.

Only one DNS lookup: According to the vendor, with DynConD, there is no need for applications to perform additional DNS lookups. The client only needs to perform one DNS lookup for IP resolution, server availability check, and optimal server selection. This streamlined process is claimed to reduce latency and improve the efficiency of server selection.

Layer 3/4 GSLB: The vendor states that DynConD GSLB operates at Layer 3/4, making it protocol-independent at Layer 7. This is claimed to ensure compatibility with a wide range of applications and services, providing seamless support for different network protocols.

Improved security and user privacy: According to the vendor, as a client-side GSLB with a real-time optimal server selection process, DynConD offers enhanced protection against DDoS attacks. Additionally, being a Layer 3/4 GSLB, it is said to prioritize user privacy, safeguarding sensitive information.

RESTful API: According to the vendor, DynConD provides a RESTful API for easy integration with both cloud and on-premise infrastructures. This API allows for efficient management and updating of server load, service response time, and other impact parameters.

Heterogeneous data centers: The vendor claims that DynConD is particularly useful for managing heterogeneous cloud data centers and physical machines with varying computing power, configuration, network connections, and energy consumption. It is said to offer a comprehensive solution for balancing resources across different types of data centers.

Multi-cloud and hybrid cloud support: According to the vendor, DynConD is designed to support multicloud, multi on-premise, and hybrid cloud environments. It is claimed to offer a scalable solution for managing traffic across different cloud providers and data centers, enabling businesses to optimize their infrastructure and leverage the benefits of multiple cloud platforms.
