State of the art data center and backbone connectivity

Yo! hosts its services at Frontier GlobalCenter, which incorporates all the web hosting infrastructure and commerce services e-businesses need to implement and operate sticky, media-rich web sites that can scale to the highest volume of traffic. The Data Center is located directly on GlobalCenter's international fiber optic network for high-bandwidth worldwide connectivity and scale.

Intelligent traffic control

Yo! uses redundant F5 BigIP load balancers for traffic control. BigIP is a unique, high availability, intelligent load balancing product that provides automatic and intelligent management of Internet traffic and content, with complete performance that includes reliability, scalability, speed and management.

Top of the line database solution

Yo! uses Oracle 8i to manage data resources. Oracle 8i is one of the most highly scalable and available relational databases in the market today.

The most scalable personalization solution

Yo! uses LikeMinds Personalization Server to power its recommendations. Likeminds Personalization Server is the most scalable and most accurate personalization solution. Performance benchmarks prove extremely low latency, even in high-traffic, high-throughput environments. Thanks to its patent-pending, high-performance, multi-threading, multi-processing architecture, LikeMinds is able to achieve impressive throughput in single-host environments and near-linear speed-up with additional servers.

High availability cluster solution

Yo! uses VERITAS Cluster Server to maximize application availability and eliminate planned and unplanned downtime. VERITAS provides comprehensive application availability management for both hardware and software resources in clustered server configurations.

Full redundancy for fault tolerance

All of Yo!'s infrastructure hardware and software, including servers, routers, network cables and switches are fully redundant. If any component fails, the system continues to operate seamlessly.

24/7 system monitoring

Yo!'s infrastructure is monitored by siteROCK. siteROCK uses a continuously staffed monitoring center, state-of-the art dedicated business extranet and custom-developed monitoring agents to provide 24/7 monitoring of all Yo!'s production systems and network components.
