Case Study: Visit San Antonio Route 53
Elevating Tourism Management: How Netsync and Amazon Route53 Transformed Visit San Antonio's Online Presence
The Challenge
Visit San Antonio (VSA), the tourism board for the City of San Antonio, was spending extra time and effort to manage their growing website DNS estate and needed the ability to centralize their public facing domain name system (DNS) records to allow for a single DNS interface and management system of the many domains they operate.
Route 53
Amazon Route 53 provides highly available and scalable Domain Name System (DNS), domain name registration, and health-checking web services. It is designed to give developers and businesses an extremely reliable and cost-effective way to route end users to Internet applications by translating names like example.com into the numeric IP addresses, such as 192.0.2.1, that computers use to connect to each other. You can combine your DNS with health-checking services to route traffic to healthy endpoints or to independently monitor and/or alarm on endpoints.
The Result
Visit San Antonio selected Amazon Route53 to assist with this transition. Amazon Route53 centralized DNS management from multiple providers to a single management interface for their domains. This transition was planned and completed on time with zero customer impact to any of their websites.
The partnership between Visit San Antonio technology leadership and Netsync’s deep expertise in assisting some of the largest public sector customers was critical to the success of this project and we thank Visit San Antonio for their trust and support in developing the solution and enabling a new environment.
