Case Study: IO River achieves resilient, ASN-based multi-edge traffic steering with IBM NS1 Connect
A IBM Case Study
IO River uses IBM NS1 Connect to enable granular, resilient traffic steering
IO River, a multi-edge solutions provider, needed a more flexible and resilient way to steer traffic across multiple edge providers. Its previous dependence on a single DNS provider created constraints around redundancy, high-granularity routing, and reliability, which could affect uptime and customer confidence. To solve this, IO River chose IBM NS1 Connect for its API-driven flexibility and advanced DNS traffic-steering capabilities.
IBM implemented NS1 Connect Traffic Steering and Filter Chains directly into IO River’s platform, turning DNS into a dynamic decision engine with ASN-based routing and multi-provider support. The result was 100% uptime since implementation, stronger resilience across the edge layer, reduced dependency risk, and a scalable foundation for future multi-edge growth and performance optimization.
