A SanDisk Case Study
JD.com, a leading e-commerce retailer, was struggling with site slowdowns and crashes during large promotions due to I/O bottlenecks on direct-attached storage in its mission-critical Microsoft SQL Server OLTP environment. Peak traffic repeatedly caused unresponsive servers and lost sales until they sought a high-performance storage solution.
By migrating subscriber databases onto Fusion ioMemory ioDrive cards and eliminating DAS arrays, JD.com removed the disk bottleneck and consolidated servers 3:1. The change delivered 9x faster queries, 10x IOPS, 27x performance density, a 3x reduction in footprint, eliminated outages during the biggest promotion in company history, and deferred an expensive SAN upgrade while reducing software, maintenance, power, and space costs.
