FireHost Expands Its Global Business Continuity Solutions
New DNS Hosting Options Provide Better Redundancy and Security
DALLAS, TX, Aug 15, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- FireHost, the leading secure cloud hosting company, today announces new business continuity choices supported by DYN DNS hosting. DNS hosting extends FireHost's business continuity capabilities beyond high-availability and load balancing solutions. The new business continuity options support clients who require constant uptime and sophisticated failover configurations for their websites or Web applications.
"FireHost has been ahead of the curve with regard to securing a public cloud environment and finding advanced ways to boost performance," said Jason Rieger, CTO of FireHost. "Now we move ahead again by multiplying our business continuity offerings, helping our customers prep and plan for the unexpected, and keeping their systems and applications online all the time, even when disaster strikes."
FireHost's new business continuity solutions, powered by DNS hosting, let customers make proactive choices about distributing Web traffic between 17 different failover facilities that are dispersed across five continents. Customers that require additional control can "layer on" advanced DNS hosting features:
-- Active Failover: Automatically routes Internet traffic to available
hosting resources in secondary facilities if a physical disruption to
the primary hosting infrastructure occurs. The re-routing is
pre-configured via rule sets ensuring a seamless experience for end
users.
-- Traffic Management: Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) lets FireHost
distribute application load between global data centers, multiple
cloud hosting infrastructures, or a variety of content delivery
network (CDN) providers. Traffic management detects failures and
automatically routes Internet traffic to the nearest available
physical server, alerts system administrators, and provides high-level
stability and availability for Web applications.
-- Advanced Traffic Management: Building on Traffic Management, this
sophisticated business continuity configuration features regional rule
sets with granular geo-traffic management. This allows Web application
administrators to pin visitors to the nearest hosting infrastructure
for increased speed, performance, and budget controls.
FireHost has an exclusive DNS hosting partnership with Dyn, which provides the secure host with an enterprise-grade, globally diverse IP network, eliminating the worry of extended downtime and management of domain name servers. By participating in such a robust business continuity program, FireHost customers can survive disruptions of any scale, maximize their Web performance and ensure a high quality Web experience for their own end users.
FireHost Secure DNS Hosting options are available immediately.
