SmartDNS by FatPipe Networks is a patented software solution that provides intelligent inbound load balancing and failover for IP traffic. It enables organizations to maintain high WAN reliability and ensures that internal servers (such as web, email, and firewall servers) are accessible through multiple internet connections. SmartDNS eliminates the need for BGP programming or specialized routing knowledge, making it easy to deploy and manage. The software automatically balances incoming IP traffic and provides redundancy, so network services remain available even during line or site failures.
