挑战
The French Tennis Federation (FFT) needed a system that could handle sharp spikes in website traffic during the first few days that tickets go on sale. This international aspect is vital since the French Open attracts numerous visitors from Russia, China, and the US. Therefore it decided to host its static content on CDNetworks’ servers, to be sure that pages would load quickly for users anywhere in the world. The FFT chose CDNetworks because of its solid reputation for effective, reliable service.
关于客户
The French Tennis Federation (FFT) is a non-profit organization set up to promote, facilitate, and develop tennis in France by supporting tennis clubs, lessons, training, individual and team tournaments, and a national championship. The FFT also supports the French tennis teams that represent the country in major international tournaments like the Davis Cup, Fed Cup, and Olympic games, and helps organize the French Open and BNP Paribas Masters. Its website, www.fft.fr, provides useful information for members and the general public on how to find a local club, play in tournaments, move up in the rankings, and safely enjoy the sport throughout your life.
解决方案
To lighten the load on the FFT’s servers, static website content – such as the photos, java scripts, and PDFs on the FFT’s website and the script (which changes every year) and illustrations on the ticketing website –were migrated to CDNetworks’ content delivery network. That was done to ensure fast page load times for users anywhere in the world. The FFT uses Drupal to manage its website content. But Drupal is perfectly compatible with CDNetworks’ system – the system’s settings and “time to live” just had to be configured so that the CDN looks for new content in Drupal at specified time intervals.
