Hi,

I'm evaluating different datacenters and vendors accross the globe and it isn't worthy to perform tests like DNS, traceroute, ping and HTTP GET from my office. I need to be able to perform this tests remotely, from multiple endpoints.

Have you checked out some of the website monitoring sites?

Can also look at GTmetrix: https://gtmetrix.com/ which has rest api to launch real browser from a bunch of different locations and then can access the HAR file to see time to first byte, dns resolution, and a bunch of other metrics. https://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.nanog.org/INgQIGE6#waterfall Full disclosure, GT owns it (but you can do everything you want with free api).
