Constellix is a managed DNS service for organisations that want to control their domains and traffic. The offering covers authoritative DNS on an anycast network, traffic steering based on DNS rules and real-user measurements, and Sonar for monitoring and automatic failover to a healthier resource. It is aimed at multi-CDN management and outage prevention. Customers work through web portals for DNS, Sonar, analytics and user management. The service is SaaS.
Constellix is part of DigiCert, Inc., headquartered in Lehi, Utah, which acquired DNS Made Easy and affiliated brands, including Constellix, in June 2022; DigiCert is backed by private-equity investors. The company falls under US jurisdiction, including the CLOUD Act. The Constellix page does not say where customer data such as zone data is stored; DigiCert points to a separate overview of storage locations. DigiCert states that it is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework for transfers from the EU and uses standard contractual clauses. For a European organisation, the main point with DNS is the dependence on a US supplier for name resolution.
