As the world gears up for the Paris Olympics, it’s not just athletes who need to be in peak condition. This Olympics comes hot on the heels of the largest IT outage in history. Recovery efforts from the CrowdStrike outage are still ongoing.

Your customers are not willing to wait more than a second or two for your website and apps to load. Slow-loading apps and sites may seem like a minor inconvenience to them, but they’re a serious threat to your business. Numerous studies have shown that customers will abandon your site and take their business elsewhere if you make them wait. Many businesses are unaware of the critical role of the Domain Name System (DNS) in the performance of websites and business apps.

The public Internet is now a core component of every company’s digital architecture. Given its nature as a shared resource, the Internet is also the biggest variable in digital experience today. Therefore, application performance management solutions, which typically monitor application transactions and the cloud infrastructure that applications reside upon, can only offer IT operations teams a partial view of the overall health and performance of digital services. IT organizations must modernize their observability toolsets with Internet Performance Monitoring solutions.
