"When potential customers are in search of a new restaurant, or
reviews on a local business, they turn to Yelp because of the
excellent experience it provides across all digital platforms,"
said Ian Whiting, Fusion-io
executive vice president, global field operations. "Fusion-io is
proud to support Yelp's outstanding team in delivering information
that users around the world trust to help them decide where they
want to spend their time and money."
With more than 53 million reviews posted about businesses in 24
countries in North America,
Europe, South America and Asia Pacific, Yelp is the leading local
reviews website. In addition to reviews, Yelp also provides
services such as in-app ordering, localized event calendars, lists
and messaging services. Mobile engagement is also high, with more
than 53 million unique monthly visitors to mobile web and app in Q4
2013. Fusion ioMemory enables Yelp to provide its community with
