Case Study: Sports Chosun achieves 5x faster content load times and 250% annual ROI with SanDisk Fusion ioMemory

Sports Chosun Scores with Reader and Fusion ioMemory - Accelerated Content

Sports Chosun, Korea’s leading online sports news site with about 130 million page views from 100 million users weekly, needed to deliver more real-time content to a huge concurrent audience while improving customer experience, scalability and reducing footprint and maintenance costs.

By moving MySQL off SAN hard disks onto Fusion ioMemory flash in an industry‑standard x86 server, the company consolidated three high‑performance database servers into one, tripled performance, and sped content load times (over 5x faster on average, 3x for large content). The change cut equivalent system cost to one‑third, reduced footprint nearly 5:1, lowered maintenance to 1/12, accelerated procurement, and delivered a 250% annual ROI over five years.
