Dyn announced general availability of Internet Intelligence (II), a SaaS-based product that provides companies with a view of the Internet by looking at performance between a company’s customers and its Internet assets.
Through a consolidated single view across all Internet assets, II allows companies to accurately manage and deploy to their cloud providers, identify issues in real-time while performing root cause analysis of problems and effects and create plans for how to improve and expand their Internet infrastructure – all of which benefit the end-user experience.
“Today, every company is an Internet company. The more a business relies on the public Internet to provide the best end-user experience for its global customers, the more effective and actionable Internet monitoring is required. But the Internet is an inherently unpredictable and complex space,” said Scott Hilton, EVP, Products at Dyn. “Internet Intelligence allows companies for the first time to monitor, alert and plan for their complex Internet Infrastructure from a single platform.”
As an increasing number of companies migrate to the cloud, the ability to mitigate risk and control cloud assets with Managed DNS is becoming a business imperative. According to IDG, 87 percent of companies worldwide either currently use cloud services or plan to implement cloud technology in the near future. With wholesale adoption of cloud services the new norm, few companies have insight or control into their cloud assets.
Internet Intelligence is a vendor-agnostic SaaS offering that shows a company’s full global cloud provider, Content Delivery Network (CDN) and data centers on one dashboard, allowing IT executives to see how real-time availability, reachability, and performance issues impact their own customers. By alerting issues directly in the dashboard or via email, companies of all sizes and IT sophistication can quickly isolate and fix small issues before they become costly problems.
For example:
- Availability — An hour of downtime costs the average business $163,000. For a large enterprise, like a consumer streaming movie service, it’s estimated that a recent 42-minute outage cost in excess of $500,000. Internet Intelligence detects outages and performance problems and directs how to reroute traffic so the effect is minimized or unnoticed for customers.
- Reachability — Just because a company’s infrastructure is reporting that it is available, this doesn’t mean that customers can reach it. Reachability – whether customers can actually reach your Internet assets – needs to be monitored. In cases where a business is using a single cloud instance, an outage or failure will have a detrimental impact on reachability – and unless businesses are monitoring their reachability and mitigating for failures, they have little choices for rerouting if a disruptive event occurs.
- Performance — Many businesses use CDNs to accelerate web page load. Amazon calculated that a slowdown of just one second can cost $1.6 billion in sales per year, 7 percent of annual revenue. Businesses need to quickly recognize Internet inefficiencies and outages to avoid accumulating latencies. II’s real-time dashboard alerts companies when routes rise above expected traffic thresholds for cloud providers, CDNs and data centers to find the root cause of the issue. For CDNs, II also ranks a company’s selected CDN against others so they can choose a better option if available.
When Internet Intelligence is combined with Dyn’s Traffic Management product for load balancing and geographic routing, companies can make changes to the routes of their traffic, allowing them to provide their customers with the best experience possible.
II is the newest product within Dyn’s Internet Intelligence product suite.

In live financial environments, capital markets software cannot pause for rebuilds. New capabilities are introduced as stacked technology layers to meet evolving demands while systems remain active, data keeps moving, and controls stay intact. AI is no exception, and its opportunities are significant: accelerated decision cycles, compressed manual workflows, and more effective operations across complex environments. The constraint isn't the models themselves, but the architectural environments they enter ...
Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...

Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...
Enterprises are under pressure to scale AI quickly. Yet despite considerable investment, adoption continues to stall. One of the most overlooked reasons is vendor sprawl ... In reality, no organization deliberately sets out to create sprawling vendor ecosystems. More often, complexity accumulates over time through well-intentioned initiatives, such as enterprise-wide digital transformation efforts, point solutions, or decentralized sourcing strategies ...
Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...

The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...
In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption. According to our 2026 State of IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous AI, nearly 90% of IT professionals view AI as a net positive, and this optimism is well-founded. We are seeing agentic AI move beyond simple automation to actively streamlining complex data insights and eliminating the manual toil that has long hindered innovation. However, as we integrate these autonomous agents into our ecosystems, the fundamental DNA of the IT role is evolving ...
AI workloads require an enormous amount of computing power ... What's also becoming abundantly clear is just how quickly AI's computing needs are leading to enterprise systems failure. According to Cockroach Labs' State of AI Infrastructure 2026 report, enterprise systems are much closer to failure than their organizations realize. The report ... suggests AI scale could cause widespread failures in as little as one year — making it a clear risk for business performance and reliability.
