What is DynConD?
DynConD is a client-side global server load balancer designed for replicated and distributed network services requiring high availability and instant failover. It operates at Layer 3/4, making it protocol-independent, and uses a unique dynamic server selection process that considers measured network distances between client and server, server load, and service response time for optimal routing decisions.
The solution provides real-time server availability checks during DNS resolution, eliminating single points of failure and reducing downtime during maintenance. With support for heterogeneous data centers and integration through RESTful API, DynConD offers improved security, DDoS protection, and user privacy while lowering total cost of ownership through reduced need for traditional server load balancers.
Features
- Dynamic Server Selection: Uses measured network distance, server load, and service response time for optimal server selection
- High Availability: Performs real-time server availability checks during DNS resolution for instant failover
- Measured Network Distances: Utilizes actual network measurements instead of geographic approximations
- Single DNS Lookup: Combines IP resolution, server availability check, and optimal server selection in one DNS lookup
- Layer 3/4 GSLB: Protocol-independent DNS-based load balancing at network layers 3 and 4
- RESTful API Integration: Allows management of server load, response time, and impact parameters through API
- Multi-cloud Support: Works across heterogeneous cloud data centers and hybrid cloud environments
- Client-side Libraries: Available for Android/Linux, iOS, and Windows with configurable RTT measurement parameters
Use Cases
- Multi-cloud and hybrid cloud traffic management
- Distributed network services requiring high availability
- Applications needing instant failover capabilities
- Services hosted across multiple data centers
- Energy-efficient cloud scaling solutions
- Mobile and desktop applications across various industries
FAQs
-
What makes DynConD different from traditional load balancers?
DynConD uses measured network distances instead of geographic approximations and performs server selection on the client-side with real-time availability checks during DNS resolution. -
Which cloud platforms support DynConD?
DynConD is available on DigitalOcean Marketplace, Microsoft Azure Marketplace, Amazon AWS Marketplace, and Alibaba Cloud Marketplace. -
What types of applications can benefit from DynConD?
Various mobile and desktop applications including business, finance, education, government, health, social networks, games, entertainment, advertising, information services, and streaming services. -
How does DynConD improve security?
As a client-side GSLB with real-time optimal server selection, DynConD offers better DDoS protection and, as a Layer 3/4 GSLB, protects user privacy. -
What parameters does DynConD use for server selection?
DynConD uses measured network distance between client and server, server load (CPU, RAM), and server service response time as configurable parameters.
