Case Study: Intel® Solid-State Drives (Intel® SSDs)
Intel® Solid-State Drives and microservers help Taobao.com build a more cost-effective and energy-efficient content distribution network
Challenge
• Reduce costs: Taobao.com wants to minimize operating costs, such as purchasing and maintenance, while accelerating the expansion of its content distribution network.
• Reduce energy consumption: Use less power while building an energy-efficient content distribution network.
• Improve the user experience: Expand the geographic coverage of the content distribution network and increase users’ access speeds to improve the user experience.
