Cem Atacık, General Manager of Advancity:

“With this project implemented jointly with NGN; we have ensured user load balance by accurately localizing the intensity in our systems. During our collaboration, we have succeeded in equally transferring the uploading and downloading speed by taking the user intensity in our system into consideration. As a result, it is very precious and critical for us and for our customers to keep data within Turkey as a domestic and national solution in the distance education market in full compliance with the Personal Data Protection Law. Although our software architecture is sufficient to meet the needs of booming number of users in the pandemic process; the capacities of data providers and telecommunication infrastructure providers that will ensure the transfer of the rapidly-increasing data traffic play a key role in ensuring the quality and continuity of the services. With this project jointly implemented with NGN’s Star of Bosphorus Data Center , one of the leading data centers in Turkey; we have accurately planned the intensity created by over 2 million users in our systems and ensured our data traffic increase and load balance. The ability to quickly meet the demands of our users with the contributions of NGN in this unprecedented period and solving any problems immediately strengths our relationships with our customers and increases the confidence in Advancity, which is extremely precious for us.’’
