In addition to providing secure connectivity to the shared storage across these isolated networks, Connection Manager’s Global Balancing can provide seamless name resolution across a multi-network segment infrastructure and dynamically direct traffic to the proper virtual IP address. While some environments will have dedicated DNS infrastructure to support each of these networks, Connection Manager can centralize resolution and direct clients from different network segments to different endpoint targets. By setting the locations, health checking and associated virtual IP addresses for each of the networks, Connection Manager determines where to direct requests based on where the query originates from.

By leveraging the native capabilities of the Connection Manager to proxy, object storage deployments can be configured to successfully support environments with requirements for network isolation between applications while simplifying access to business-critical resources.
