Tenant-dedicated infrastructure

Dedicated Edge Your Cloud. Your Tenant. One Traffic Engine.

Run GLBSAAS software inside your public or private cloud when you want tenant-dedicated traffic infrastructure without giving up centralized policy, health, persistence, software lifecycle management, or operational visibility.

Put the traffic plane where your applications already live.

Dedicated Edge is designed for organizations that want their own infrastructure boundary, their own node footprint, or direct placement in public and private cloud environments — while keeping the same GLBSAAS control model and traffic intelligence.

⌂

Infrastructure Choice

Deploy the software in your public cloud or private environment instead of moving application traffic into a mandatory hosted edge model.

▣

Tenant-Dedicated Runtime

Keep the operational edge dedicated to your tenant space with scoped configuration access and local traffic-state handling.

⚡

Local Traffic Decisions

Health, Geo/IP policy, persistence, and DNS decisions execute close to the workload without a control-plane call in the DNS query path.

Operational architecture

Centralized control with local execution and continuity.

Dedicated Edge nodes receive authenticated desired state from the control plane, validate and activate configuration locally, and continue serving with last-known-good configuration when the control plane is unavailable. Health checks, persistence, Geo/IP evaluation, and traffic decisions remain local to the node.

  • Authenticated node enrollment
  • Scoped tenant configuration
  • Atomic configuration activation
  • Local last-known-good operation
  • Automatic software upgrades
  • Persistence continuity through upgrade

Dedicated does not mean disconnected.

The node placement is yours; the operating experience remains GLBSAAS. Use the same control plane to manage authoritative DNS, traffic policy, health checks, persistence, failover, and software lifecycle across your dedicated footprint.

When Dedicated Edge fits best

Use your infrastructure strategy as an advantage, not a limitation.

Dedicated Edge is a strong fit when the traffic plane needs to live inside an existing cloud account, private network, customer-controlled security boundary, or workload-specific environment — while still benefiting from centralized policy and automated lifecycle management.

☁

Public Cloud Workloads

Place GLB nodes close to applications already running in your cloud regions.

▤

Private Infrastructure

Operate the traffic plane inside private cloud or datacenter environments where locality matters.

◇

Isolation Requirements

Keep node infrastructure dedicated to one tenant while retaining centralized management and software control.
