- Successful DNS routing provides the best customer experience; e-mail is routed quickly and efficiently
- Quick detection of a faulty DNS means swift correction of errors, allowing minimal impact on customer's experience.
DNS performance monitoring provides:
- Detailed analysis deconstructing the DNS performance
- Automated trace-routes from geographically distributed analysis points on the internet, allowing varying frequencies and identification of weak points.
- Historical performance analysis with real-time, user-defined warnings and alerts as necessary.
DNS is your address on the Internet. Every action taken on the Internet depends on DNS for routing and performance. Proper DNS configuration is essential to the success of any online business, because as the popularity of online shopping and advertising increases, DNS security and performance is crucial.
The Domain Name Server (DNS) refers to the worldwide-distributed database which maps every host name in the world to their correct IP addresses. Domain Name Servers (DNS) are the first point contacted when a customer searches for your website, or sends you an email. Every effort should be made to avoid faults in the DNS. The DNS Server Monitor guarantees the integrity of your DNS, and measures the performance of your DNS provider or publicly available DNS records.
To ensure that your domain is always recognised and accessible for customers, the DNS server monitor analyses all of your critical DNS records. If DNS performance falls below customer-defined thresholds, MSCprotect agents immediately alert via sms or email. Companies with multiple servers can take advantage of the DNS cluster monitor, which monitors all of your DNS servers to ensure that customers are successfully routed to your site by any one of the active servers. MSCprotect maintains a historical record of DNS performance to allow customers to track, measure and alert against historical benchmarks.
Whilst many companies rely on anecdotal feedback for DNS monitoring, there are risks associated with this approach. Since DNS outages can be momentary and limited in scope, companies are unable to neither reproduce the problem nor hold their service provider accountable. With MSCprotect's DNS performance monitoring, 24/7 analysis provides assurance in performance and regular reporting to quickly identify potential faults.
