What Is Dynamic Routing? (And Why You Should Use It)
So many technologies and so many terms. Even for folks plugged into IT, keeping up with evolving tech and circumstances is difficult. That’s why PERFEQTA focuses on developing user-friendly technology and software solutions that require no coding and can contribute to your organization from day one. We also use industry-best methods and tools, including dynamic routing, to provide flexible, responsive software solutions that your company can depend on day in and day out.
Routing refers to selecting a path to transmit information from one point to another and then executing the data transfer. With static routing, pre-configured pathways are used to send information. Typically, static routing doesn’t change unless a person intervenes to change the status quo manually. Static routing may work on smaller networks but often proves unmanageable on larger networks and with large amounts of data.
With dynamic routing, algorithms and protocols are leveraged to automatically plot routing paths. While more complex than simple static routing, dynamic routing is often preferred by organizations frequently transmitting data. And with large networks and extensive data, dynamic routing is far more scalable and easier to manage on a day-to-day basis.
At PERFEQTA, we combine dynamic routing with top-notch security to ensure the safe, timely, and reliable routing of data as needed.
- Here’s Why PERFEQTA Utilizes Dynamic Routing
We designed the PERFEQTA platform to offer a robust, flexible, and easy-to-use experience. For our clients, it’s important that our systems quickly and reliably transfer data. Hence, we use dynamic routing to ensure a steady, reliable flow of information. If a route needs to be updated, PERFEQTA can handle this automatically, reconfiguring transfer paths as needed.
With static routing, if a link in the transfer path fails (say, due to hardware failures), data may fail to transmit. With dynamic routing, if hardware goes out or another problem emerges, the system will react and reconfigure the route to ensure that data can get where it needs to go.
There are a few potential pitfalls with dynamic routing compared to static routing. First, you’ll need more bandwidth and computing power. This is due, in part, to the processing operations required to support a dynamic routing system. Fortunately, with a Software-as-a-Solution platform like PERFEQTA, we can handle most of the processing and bandwidth needs on our end.
Dynamic routing also ensures that you won’t need to step in to manually change a route to ensure data transmission. PERFEQTA works well out of the box and typically requires minimal intervention on your end. We also run PERFEQTA on the best hardware and work hard to maintain our systems at all times.
Security is also a major concern. A poorly managed routing system may leave data exposed as it’s transmitted. Our clients often handle sensitive data and must meet strict regulatory requirements. Security is always a priority with encryption and other tools used to reduce security risks.
The end result? PERFEQTA offers a fast, flexible, and reliable experience while also increasing data integrity and cybersecurity in a world plagued by IT hacks and attacks.
