How to gain insight into the impact of internet disruptions (with a map)
Internet users now have a simple, graphical way to track the health of the internet and gain insight into the impact of events such as natural disasters or state-imposed interruptions through Oracle's recently released Internet Intelligence Map.
Using one of the world’s most comprehensive internet performance data sets and backed by years of research and analytics, Oracle has developed the premier resource and authority for reliable information on the functioning of the internet.
“The internet is the world’s most important network, yet it is incredibly volatile. Disruptions on the internet can affect companies, governments, and network operators in profound ways,” says Kyle York, vice president of product strategy for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and the general manager for Oracle’s Dyn Global Business Unit. “As a result, all of these stakeholders need better visibility into the health of the global internet.”
The Internet Intelligence Map presents country-level connectivity statistics based on traceroutes, BGP, and DNS query volumes on a single dashboard. By presenting these three dimensions of internet connectivity side-by-side, users can investigate the impact of an issue on internet connectivity worldwide.
“It’s important to have a global view of the internet in order to understand how external events prevent users from reaching your web-based applications and services. It is only when you have this insight that you can work around those issues to improve availability and performance,” said Jim Davis, founder and principal analyst of Edge Research Group.
The map is part of the company's 'internet intelligence' initiative, which provides insight and analysis on the state of global internet infrastructure.
