DNS - Cotendo Launches Cotendo Integrated Smart Monitoring Service

Cotendo has launched Cotendo Site Assure, an integrated smart monitoring and automated failover service for maximizing web site and web application uptime and business continuity.

 

Cotendo provides CDN and site acceleration services.

 

Cotendo Site Assure is a 24x7 site monitoring and management service for ensuring content providers’ business continuity. It provides the ability to maintain maximum origin service availability by monitoring core customer web sites and applications from multiple distributed agents, and using various protocols. It provides an automated failover system without impacting the end-user experience. Site Assure is integrated with Cotendo Advanced DNS (ADNS) and Cotendo Content Delivery Service.

 

According to David Drai, Cotendo’s Chief Technology Officer, Site Assure’s rapid responsiveness and accuracy has led a number of content providers including online retailers, advertising networks, transactional enterprises and professional news and data content websites to utilize it to provide continuous uptime of their services. Drai noted that Cotendo Site Assure detects failures within seconds which is much faster than the time taken by competitors’ offerings.

 

Site Assure detects issues in real time by probing a customer’s origin servers with a resolution of seconds. For content providers, who value maintaining their reputation for a quality user experience, and for those whose business depends on quickly completing transactions, this feature is absolutely essential.

 

According to Rebecca Wetzel, Principal Analyst at NetForecast, service uptime is important for Internet content providers. Hence, Cotendo’s real-time monitoring service that can automatically shift between normal and alternate source targets will be a valuable addition to their IT infrastructure.

 

Cotendo Site Assure also allows content providers to fine-tune their delivery strategies using customized rules that define routing policies for load balancing and site optimization. This capability is complemented by Site Assure’s real-time alerting and reporting on the performance of the customer’s monitored resources.

 

According to Dana Ghavami, CEO of CheckM8, the operational flexibility provided by Cotendo Site Assure allows CheckM8 to remain competitive as a global provider of innovative advertising technology.

 

The real-time monitoring and automatic failover capabilities of Cotendo ensure four 9’s uptime and high scalability of world-class rich media and video ad services to meet the demands of CheckM8’s growing customer base. CheckM8 is a premium ad technology provider for online media publishers and networks.
