Product - NS1 Connect

NS1 Connect’s makes your experience on internet better by making sure web applications and sites are always protected and performing. Our real-time data feature, pulsar needs a dashboard to show real-time network traffic data.  

The problem…

Without a dashboard, customers don't understand why their traffic is going to certain servers

This also leads to…

  • Risk of misconfigurations in traffic policy and not knowing

  • Longer times to troubleshoot or prevent errors

  • Risk of loosing millions because they are unable to confirm if their private CDN is preforming correctly

Dashboard goals

  • Break down errors and direct customers to next steps

  • Create a stronger relationship with the CDN data and the traffic steering

  • Retain current premium customers as we move from a new data management system

  • Increase the amount of customers to use our portal instead of exporting our data to a 3rd party tool

Decision page updates

  • Charts breaking down when decision are made based on the type of conditional in the traffic policy 

  • Incorporating data visuals to current table data 

  • Importing a traffic policy view into the page to reduce toggling between
