About The Customer
Yatedo is a French start-up formed in 2009 by two Epitech (a French computer science higher education institute) students. It is a search engine that specializes in people searches and online reputation. Based on a particularly innovative technology (using semantics, phonetics and a streamlined interface), Yatedo is able to distinguish between homonyms, presenting search results as profiles which internet users can then take control of and refine if needed. The company name ‘Yatedo’ was generated automatically by the search engine’s robots when its founders, Amyne Berrada and Saad Znider, submitted a request asking for a name pronounceable in all languages that had three syllables and a domain name that was still available.
The Challenge
Yatedo, a French start-up formed in 2009, is a search engine that specializes in people searches and online reputation. With more than 5 million unique visitors per month and traffic coming mainly from the United States, Yatedo was experiencing recurrent slowdowns of information synchronization and display, which had a negative impact on user experience. This is because Yatedo’s server is currently based in France, at a great distance from potential internet users located, for example, on the West Coast of the United States.
The Solution
Yatedo chose CDNetworks Content Acceleration, thereby improving their websites’ performance while maximizing their reliability and stability. With the CDNetworks acceleration service, it is effectively possible to rapidly deliver ‘cached’ content from the site in question. Whatever the format (CSS, JS, FLV, H.264/MP4, AVI, MPEG, MP3, WMV and many others) and wherever the users are based, the acceleration of Yatedo’s sites has now been optimized. Two weeks were all that were needed to configure and install the solution, and to make the changeover without encountering a single problem.

Automating Form Processing in Whitewater Rafting Business
Kern River Outfitters, a family-owned whitewater rafting business, was facing a significant challenge in managing its day-to-day operations. The company, which provides guided rafting tours in Idaho, Oregon, and California, generates thousands of online waivers for its adventure activities. These waivers are not just simple forms; they include detailed information such as allergies, emergency contact info, and more. The process of manually entering this data into their Customer Relationship Manager (CRM), Streak, was time-consuming and monotonous. The adventuring season, which lasts from April or May through the entire summer, meant that the number of waivers the company had to process was in the thousands. This tedious task was taking away valuable time that could be spent on other aspects of the business.

High-Speed Transfers and Automation: BT Sport's New Production Hub
BT Sport, a collection of sports channels offered by the BT Group in the UK, needed a high-speed file transfer solution to support ad hoc ingest and distribution as well as power automated data replication to an offsite data recovery center. The vision of BT Sport could only be realized with a new, state of the art broadcast facility. Timeline Television, BT Sport's technical partner, had less than six months to build out the broadcast centre from an empty shell into a 24 hour-a-day operation, including the simultaneous roll-out of a fully automated disaster recovery system. They quickly identified the need for a robust, high-speed transfer platform from a trusted vendor, to power the intense file-based production workflows and meet the project’s aggressive timescale. The platform needed to support secure high-speed transfer at multi-gigabit speeds, allow fully automated end-to-end workflows including ad hoc content ingest, review, approval and distribution, and offer reliable, secure data replication of petabytes of media from BT Sport’s main site in London’s iCITY to the disaster recovery and continuity facilities located at the iconic BT Tower.

IoT in Disaster Management: A Case Study on Food Lion's Proactive Emergency Plan
Retailers, particularly grocery chains, face a significant challenge when a major storm is announced. They must ensure their shelves are stocked to meet the community's preparedness needs, while also ensuring they can reopen quickly post-storm. Food Lion, a grocery chain, aims to reopen its doors within 24 hours of a storm impact. Retail Business Services, the services company for six major East Coast grocery brands in the United States, including Food Lion, had to devise a plan to achieve this 24-hour goal. The challenge was to have clear weather intelligence and a proactive emergency plan in place. The plan needed to include which stores may need generators and which associates in the areas surrounding the impact zones can be called upon to help reopen stores.
