Case Study: AddThis expands data center capacity and speeds deployment with Connection and HP ProLiant servers

Add This - Customer Case Study

AddThis, a major infrastructure platform supporting 14 million domains and 1.3 billion users monthly, needed to significantly expand its data center capacity to handle vast amounts of data and user growth. They turned to their trusted partner, Connection Inc, to scale their compute capacity with a robust hardware solution, as their unique environment required 100% bare metal server performance without virtualization.

Connection Inc performed an in-depth assessment and helped AddThis select and deploy HP ProLiant SL230 Gen8 servers, which offered high density with 8 servers in a 4U chassis. Utilizing HP's Factory Express service for pre-configuration ensured a rapid and smooth rollout. The project was completed with an extremely low hardware failure rate, providing AddThis with a large surplus of reliable systems that increased their capacity, accelerated their work, and gave them the confidence to take on new projects. Connection Inc was praised as a vital extension of the AddThis operations team.
