挑战
Monin, a French family business founded in 1912, makes premium syrups for bars and restaurants. It is also one of the world’s leading producers of fruit purées, liqueurs, and sauces. The company does all its production in-house, with operations in France, the US, and Malaysia. Three years ago, Monin decided to switch from its proprietary ERP software to a professional web-based application that could better support the company’s growth strategy. It selected Oracle’s JD Edwards fully web-based software, initially installing it in France and later rolling it out to Malaysia. The company performed user tests and other analyses on the software, which quickly revealed major performance problems. Response times in Malaysia were over 350 ms—compared with just 10–15 ms in France where the application was hosted. Those long response times made the ERP completely unusable by Malaysian staff. Moreover, the ERP is a business-critical application for Monin. It manages all of the company’s core business processes: production, quality control, sales, purchasing, accounting, and other corporate functions. Without a well-running ERP, the company would not be able to operate smoothly or efficiently. Even the slightest glitch could throw the business off track—with serious and potentially costly consequences.

解决方案
Monin first considered a “point-to-point” hardware solution that would make its system run faster, but soon changed course after realizing how difficult it would be to install. That’s when the company decided to give CDNetworks’ Dynamic Web Acceleration solution a try. The good news for Monin was that CDNetworks offered to let them pre-test the solution under actual operating conditions by simply redirecting a few IP and URL addresses. CDNetworks’ Dynamic Web Acceleration was installed in January 2014, and has since slashed the average response time from 350–370 ms to 10–12 ms. And that’s without changing Monin’s existing IT infrastructure or setting up any remote hardware. It was all done simply by redirecting addresses to CDNetworks’ servers located around the world. Next up for Monin is a new production site in China in 2015. Thanks to CDNetworks’ solution, Lionel is confident that this second Asian site will also have a reliable, efficient, and fast ERP.

HEINEKEN Uses the Cloud to Reach 10.5 Million Consumers
For 2012 campaign, the Bond promotion, it planned to launch the campaign at the same time everywhere on the planet. That created unprecedented challenges for HEINEKEN—nowhere more so than in its technology operation. The primary digital content for the campaign was a 100-megabyte movie that had to play flawlessly for millions of viewers worldwide. After all, Bond never fails. No one was going to tolerate a technology failure that might bruise his brand.Previously, HEINEKEN had supported digital media at its outsourced datacenter. But that datacenter lacked the computing resources HEINEKEN needed, and building them—especially to support peak traffic that would total millions of simultaneous hits—would have been both time-consuming and expensive. Nor would it have provided the geographic reach that HEINEKEN needed to minimize latency worldwide.

Temperature Monitoring for Restaurant Food Storage
When it came to implementing a solution, Mr. Nesbitt had an idea of what functionality that he wanted. Although not mandated by Health Canada, Mr. Nesbitt wanted to ensure quality control issues met the highest possible standards as part of his commitment to top-of-class food services. This wish list included an easy-to use temperature-monitoring system that could provide a visible display of the temperatures of all of his refrigerators and freezers, including historical information so that he could review the performance of his equipment. It also had to provide alert notification (but email alerts and SMS text message alerts) to alert key staff in the event that a cooling system was exceeding pre-set warning limits.
