Cirruswhat advantages does GTM brings compares to DNS server
GTM is nothing but works as a DNS for a corporate network , If previously we have legacy DNS server in our environment, Then what advantages does GTM brings compares to DNS server
GTM, or BIG-IP DNS as it's now called is a Global Server Load Balancing solution. This means that rather than responding with one A record for a lookup, or 2+ A records to "load balance" you can do health checks and respond only with healthy servers, send traffic to local datacenters based on LDNS source, etc.
There's a lot more features to the product such as high performance and hardware acceleration, but I'd recommend watching some videos on GTM and reading the datasheet and come back with more questions once you know a bit about the product.
