aCerno Delivers Predictive, Targeted Ads to Online Buyers in Milliseconds

aCerno delivers predictive targeted advertisements to online consumers as they are shopping. The company wanted to deliver predictive targeted advertisements to millions of online shoppers on the fly and process tens of millions of transactions daily in 150 milliseconds or less. The challenge was to build a network with 99.999 percent reliability to ensure network performance, meet service level agreements, and generate revenue and deploy a robust, flexible solution that will scale vertically and horizontally as needed. aCerno deployed Foundry's FastIron 448 switches which perform 10 percent to 20 percent faster than competitors' edge switches.
