Through the use of MPLS, the organization can achieve its desired level of connectivity, privacy, and data integrity, ensuring smooth operations across its data centers..
BGP Anycast for DNS distributes our DNS services across geographically dispersed locations using the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). Multiple TCPWave appliances share the same IP address, providing efficient and scalable DNS resolution by directing queries to the nearest appliance. BGP Anycast advertises the IP address range from multiple locations through BGP routing, ensuring queries are directed to the closest appliance based on shortest path. This reduces latency and improves performance. Consistent configurations and templates are applied to each participating appliance, with BGP configured to advertise the Anycast address and establish peering sessions for routing information exchange throughout the network.
We provide a B2B DNS Proxy specifically designed to handle DNS resolution involving third parties within the internal network, ensuring secure communication and mitigating potential security risks by eliminating DNS poisons. This specialized proxy plays a crucial role in enhancing the overall security of the network infrastructure. Additionally, we incorporate a dedicated DNS Caching layer that optimizes the resolution of DNS queries originating from third parties to the on-prem namespace. This caching layer efficiently manages incoming communication from external sources, streamlining the DNS resolution process and contributing to a more secure and efficient network environment within the organization's internal network. By leveraging TCPWave's B2B DNS Proxy and DNS Caching layer, the organization can establish robust security measures and ensure seamless and efficient DNS resolution for all third-party communications within its internal network.
The successful deployment of DNS Anycast using TCPWave offers significant advantages in terms of network performance and security for the eCommerce provider. By prioritizing DNS and implementing robust security measures, the organization ensures a seamless user experience while safeguarding critical data. TCPWave's B2B DNS Proxy and DNS Caching layer further enhance security and streamline DNS resolution with third parties.
