GlobalDots' Elastic Network Service continuously monitors the public internet for congestion and outages and proactively selects the best paths for your users to ensure a great experience.
Research has consistently shown that an application response time of over 1 second will cause an interruption in the user’s flow of thought, and a delay of about 10 seconds will result in the abandonment of the task.

The Internet.
Just Faster and Smarter.
What is the Internet Backbone?
Nearly all web content flows through the Internet Backbone. The Internet Backbone is made up of many large Network Service Providers that interconnect with each other. These large networks charge Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to transport data packets long distances.
How Least Cost Routing hurts performance
Within the Internet Backbone, all traffic is treated equally, and so ISPs maximize profitability by minimizing the cost of sending traffic. Least cost routing is the
process of selecting the path traffic will take along the Internet Backbone based on the lowest cost, not on best performance.
Least cost routing happens as a result of rules that are set into Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), the routing protocol of the Internet Backbone. These BGP rules allow providers to prioritize traffic using cost-based weighting factors.
For SaaS providers, this means there is no way to pay more to get a better quality of service on the public Internet Backbone, and it is nearly impossible to implement consistent routing policies across ISPs to identify the best performing path. This puts the customer experience for SaaS providers at the mercy of the network providers’ cost-cutting routing tables.
SaaS providers attempt to fix their Internet Backbone problems by implementing expensive and complex workarounds including the building replicated data centers to improve performance for regional end users. Let's take a look at pros and cons of each solution and why they all fail at solving the real reason why Internet performance is slow or inconsistent.
GlobalDots’ Elastic Network Service leverages the surface area of public clouds around the world to continuously monitor the global internet to identify high performance network paths. We use machine learning to dynamically select and set up the best internet routes steering traffic around congestion and outages, ensuring a great experience for each user.
We adapt dynamically to changing internet conditions and elastically scale up and down to map to real-time traffic requirements, providing instant network acceleration where and when you need it.
GlobalDots is unique in leveraging the surface of the public cloud, across 15+ cloud providers across the globe to provide optimal routing across the
Internet Backbone. Other internet overlay providers are trapped in expensive and inflexible private clouds. GlobalDots takes advantage of the scale of public cloud investment in both location and in peering relationships with local ISPs.

DEPLOY SD-WANs
SaaS providers create regional data Software-Defined Wide Area Networks (SD-WANs) are corporate WANs that have been virtualized with software. SaaS vendors with regional data center PoPs must also deploy backhaul networks between the PoPs to synchronize data.
They must also contend with inevitable customer issues related to out of date information between data centers.
DEPLOY REGIONAL DATA CENTERS
Some SaaS providers create regional data centers to improve performance, locating PoPs in the geographies where users are experiencing poor performance.
This approach works when the company can absorb the complexity and cost of deploying and running their own data centers and maintaining mechanisms to
synchronize data across many distributed systems. However, the business complexity created by such an architecture creates significant lock-in and prevents SaaS
providers from being able to roll out new features and technologies quickly.
USE A CDN TO ELIMINATE INTERNET BACKBONE TRAFFIC
CDNs are excellent for serving static content to users near the CDNs Point of Presence (PoP), but quickly become impractical for handling dynamic data that must created “on the fly.
Some CDNs have built fiber backhaul networks between their PoPs to help refresh cache contents. These backhaul networks can be used to help accelerate uploads and bi-directional content, but these networks were optimized to refresh static data and often don’t perform as well for accelerating dynamic content.
