About The Customer
The customers in this case study are diverse, spanning multiple industries and regions. Talk-Cloud is an e-Learning platform used by universities and other online education providers. The global gaming company provides a platform for clients to host their own games. ZEGO is a live streaming service provider that assists global enterprises in acquiring stable and high-quality live streaming capabilities in more than 200 regions. The social and digital media company is a global entity based in North America and Europe. AdTiming is a premium, data-driven ad mediation platform. All these companies were facing challenges related to global connectivity and required rapid, efficient solutions to maintain and enhance their service delivery.
The Challenge
The case study presents a variety of challenges faced by different companies across various sectors, all of which required enhanced global connectivity solutions. Talk-Cloud, an e-Learning platform, was experiencing exponential growth and needed rapid deployment of new network nodes to maintain customer satisfaction. A global gaming company required a solution to quickly and easily provision servers around the world to meet user needs. ZEGO, a live streaming service provider, needed to rapidly deploy and connect 22 core and edge PoPs in Europe, America, and Southeast Asia to better serve their 500+ million users. A global social and digital media company based in North America and Europe lacked a hybrid cloud interconnect solution for the highly regulated and unique Chinese market. Lastly, AdTiming, a data-driven ad mediation platform, needed to rapidly scale to rising user demand while improving user experiences and reducing operating costs.
The Solution
Zenlayer provided tailored IoT solutions to each of these companies, addressing their unique challenges. For Talk-Cloud, Zenlayer facilitated the rapid deployment of new network nodes, ensuring uninterrupted service for the e-Learning platform's growing user base. The global gaming company utilized Zenlayer's Bare Metal Cloud to provision servers around the world swiftly and efficiently. ZEGO leveraged Zenlayer's services to quickly deploy and connect 22 core and edge PoPs across Europe, America, and Southeast Asia, enhancing their live streaming capabilities. The social and digital media company used Zenlayer Cloud Networking to deploy a complete hybrid-cloud environment across their infrastructure within just a week, effectively navigating the Chinese market's regulatory landscape. AdTiming used Zenlayer’s global private backbone and Zenlayer Global Accelerator to rapidly scale to rising user demand, improving user experiences and reducing operating costs.

IoT platform Enables Safety Solutions for U.S. School Districts
Designed to alert drivers when schoolchildren are present, especially in low-visibility conditions, school-zone flasher signals are typically updated manually at each school. The switching is based on the school calendar and manually changed when an unexpected early dismissal occurs, as in the case of a weather-event altering the normal schedule. The process to reprogram the flashers requires a significant effort by school district personnel to implement due to the large number of warning flashers installed across an entire school district.

Revolutionizing Medical Training in India: GSL Smart Lab and the LAP Mentor
The GSL SMART Lab, a collective effort of the GSL College of Medicine and the GSL College of Nursing and Health Science, was facing a challenge in providing superior training to healthcare professionals. As clinical medicine was becoming more focused on patient safety and quality of care, the need for medical simulation to bridge the educational gap between the classroom and the clinical environment was becoming increasingly apparent. Dr. Sandeep Ganni, the director of the GSL SMART Lab, envisioned a world-class surgical and medical training center where physicians and healthcare professionals could learn skills through simulation training. He was looking for different simulators for different specialties to provide both basic and advanced simulation training. For laparoscopic surgery, he was interested in a high fidelity simulator that could provide basic surgical and suturing skills training for international accreditation as well as specific hands-on training in complex laparoscopic procedures for practicing physicians in India.

Implementing Robotic Surgery Training Simulator for Enhanced Surgical Proficiency
Fundacio Puigvert, a leading European medical center specializing in Urology, Nephrology, and Andrology, faced a significant challenge in training its surgical residents. The institution recognized the need for a more standardized and comprehensive training curriculum, particularly in the area of robotic surgery. The challenge was underscored by two independent studies showing that less than 5% of residents in Italian and German residency programs could perform major or complex procedures by the end of their residency. The institution sought to establish a virtual reality simulation lab that would include endourological, laparoscopic, and robotic platforms. However, they needed a simulator that could replicate both the hardware and software of the robotic Da Vinci console used in the operating room, without being connected to the actual physical console. They also required a system that could provide both basic and advanced simulation training, and a metrics system to assess the proficiency of the trainees before they performed surgical procedures in the operating theater.

8x increased productivity with VKS
Before VKS, a teacher would spend a lot of time showing a group of 22 students how to build a set of stairs within a semester of 120 hours. Along with not leaving the teacher much time to provide one-on-one support for each student to properly learn carpentry, it also left a considerable amount of room for error. Key information would be misinterpreted or lost as the class was taught in the typical show-and-tell way.

Scalable IoT Empowering GreenFlex's Sustainable Growth
GreenFlex, a company that supports sustainable development, decarbonization, and energy efficiency, faced several challenges in its quest to expand its business. The company needed to deploy a robust and sustainable IoT technology to support its growth. It was crucial for them to monitor and control devices at customer sites in a safe and reliable manner. They also needed to integrate devices across a range of communication protocols and gather and act on data to meet efficiency targets. GreenFlex had previously built IoT capabilities into its digital platform, GreenFlexIQ, to monitor and manage customer sites remotely. However, they soon realized that they needed a new platform to support their ambitions. They needed a platform that could scale to connect more devices for production management and make it easier for the operations team to manage devices in the field.
