IBM is offering a new service that uses DNS to help enterprise customers more effectively load balance highly distributed application and multicloud workloads.
The IBM NS1 Connect Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) service ties together the company’s NS1 DNS technology with real-time user data in a package that promises to bring faster connectivity along with improved failover and resiliency, according to David Coffey, vice president of product management and software networking for IBM.
