Case Study: Criteo expands Big Data capacity with Huawei FusionServer

Criteo expands capacity for Big Data services

Criteo, a French global technology company and digital advertising leader, needed to expand its Hadoop-based Big Data infrastructure as data volumes and demand for its services grew. The company turned to Huawei and evaluated its servers as part of a search for additional capacity for its next-generation Hadoop cluster.

Huawei’s FusionServer was selected after benchmarking against other vendors on performance, Linux compatibility, power use, and driver support. The servers delivered higher hard-drive density, with sixteen drives per server, and used 20% less power than the nearest rival, helping Criteo add cost-efficient capacity and later roll Huawei servers out globally across the US, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.
