DNS Made Easy Failover Service Saves over $100 Million in Lost Revenue During Q4 2009

DNS Made Easy’s Failover Service proves to be a key asset for organizations in preventing downtime with their hosting. Calculated savings from lost revenue by using DNS Made Easy’s Failover Service exceeded $100 Million alone.

Reston, VA (PRWEB) January 8, 2010 — DNS Made Easy (dnsmadeeasy.com), the leading IP anycast managed DNS service provider, has announced statistics on downtime prevention for its clients as a result of utilizing their DNS Failover and System Monitoring platform. The statistics were based on the final three months of 2009.

“The holiday season is a very busy time for many of our clients,” states Steven Job, President of DNS Made Easy. “It is crucial for many of these companies to have their websites and brands online during this very busy shopping time. Our clients require a DNS provider they can trust, a service that they know will work, and a service that actually does work as advertised in keeping their sites and brands online. The DNS Failover service from DNS Made Easy did exactly what it was designed for. By using DNS Failover from DNS Made Easy, companies were able to move their traffic to their secondary hosting provider when their primary hosting provider was offline. This allowed our clients to remain online and receive all sales they would have otherwise lost during this very busy holiday shopping season.”

DNS Made Easy is the standard of IP Anycast DNS services and allows all companies and organizations of any size access to an affordable IP Anycast DNS Failover solution.

The service from DNS Made Easy works by allowing multiple distributed monitoring locations check clients’ systems and make sure they are responding accurately. These checks are performed in very short intervals, usually 2 minutes or less, and the results are aggregated from multiple locations for improved accuracy. As soon as a failure is detected, DNS Made Easy will automatically check the client’s systems at backup facilities to make sure those services are available before redirecting traffic. If the backup systems are responding properly, then DNS Made Easy changes the necessary resource records to the functioning IP. The IP change is made using DNS Made Easy’s proprietary Peregrine Cascading Instant DNS Update Service which will ensure consistent record updates on all DNS servers within the DNS Made Easy constellation.

The DNS Made Easy DNS Failover and System Monitoring service provides flexibility to its clients by providing many configuration options to suit user requirements. For example, once the primary system is detected as available after an event has been resolved, customers have the option to revert to the primary system automatically or lock the record in backup state so that changes may be made at the facility that suffered the outage before reverting back to normal operations.

DNS Made Easy states that all clients using their DNS Failover service must have redundant (“mirrored”) hosting elsewhere to use the DNS Failover service. Optionally, if the clients do not have redundant systems of their own already, VPSit, a sister company of DNS Made Easy, provides virtual server solutions that can scale to the client’s needs. Also, clients that use the DNS Failover service must use the DNS Made Easy IP Anycast DNS service, which provides the foundation for the DNS Failover service. By utilizing DNS Failover and System Monitoring, DNS Made Easy customers can achieve a solid and cost effective solution to a historically difficult and costly problem.

In the last three months of 2009, the DNS Made Easy Failover service took action in response to 59,710 systems events. The downtime of the primary monitored systems ranged anywhere from 1 minute to as long as 5 days. With the use of the DNS Failover service DNS Made Easy prevented 87,952 hours and 53 minutes of downtime during the last three months of the year.

In a survey done to 100 of DNS Made Easy’s clients the average amount of revenue saved from hosting downtime was $4,200. DNS Made Easy was able to take this statistic and extrapolate this to all clients that used their failover service during Q4 2009. The total savings was calculated as being over $108 million. This calculation did not account for the possible loss of brand recognition and loss of trust that is often associated with a websites service outage.

“Keeping online commerce functioning for our clients over the holiday season was a crucial goal that all of our staff took very seriously. DNS Made Easy is the standard of IP Anycast DNS services and allows all companies and organizations of any size access to an affordable IP Anycast DNS Failover solution,” stated Steven Job. “To miss out on even three hours of revenue would have been catastrophic for our clients during the busiest shopping season of the year. We are truly thankful and understand the trust that clients have in our company when they decide to use DNS Made Easy.”

DNS Made Easy pricing is a fraction of the price charged by any valid competitors in the business offering comparable services. A study recently released by Tiggee showed the ROI with DNS Made Easy over other IP Anycast providers.
