Thought I’d give you an update on an upcoming WHIR webinar, as well as a bit of urging to get you to register for the event.
We’re planning to up the frequency of our webinar schedule in the coming months. I know we’ve only done a few up to this point, so “more frequent” could mean anything, but we’re specifically planning to host two free-to-attend informative sessions every month.
That new webinar schedule begins next Tuesday, November 10, at 12:00 noon (eastern time) with a sponsored session from managed DNS provider Neustar, operator of the UltraDNS portfolio of DNS products, entitled “Traffic Management in the Cloud - Changing the Economics of Internet Infrastructure Optimization.”
I just ran through the session with presenters James Willett, senior director of professional services and sales engineering, and Warren Howells, VP of strategic marketing, and can vouch that the presentation is an enlightening discussion of the power of a managed DNS service to benefit an Internet application – in terms of price, performance, capabilities and the complexity of the job – versus a DNS or traffic management system built and managed in-house.
More specifically, James Willett runs through six or seven case studies of enterprises using managed DNS in different interesting ways. It’s a great overview of the possibilities available with a managed DNS service, and helps produce an understanding of how an investment in traffic management can greatly reduce the load on other infrastructure, and often the investment required in that area.
By registering now, you’ll have the obvious benefit of being able to attend the event and access the insight. You’ll also be able to submit questions and have them answered in the course of the webinar. You’ll also create the contacts at Neustar, and be able to follow up with them in whatever way you need to. Everyone who registers for the event will also receive a follow-up from Neustar, with some additional research statistics on ROI for managed DNS as applied to several case scenarios.
I want to stress the fact that the participatory aspect of the webinar is its great strength – that is, this is your opportunity to find out anything you might want to know about UltraDNS by going straight to the source. I’m looking forward to fielding your questions and putting them to the presenters.
The webinar, once again, is Tuesday, November 10, at 12:00 noon Eastern Time. You can register now by visiting the webinar signup page.
See you there.
