A SanDisk Case Study
WeMakePrice, a fast-growing social e‑commerce leader in Korea (founded 2010, ~$1B annual revenue), needed to dramatically improve B2C site performance and its development/test environment—VM images and MySQL databases on SAS hard drives were causing slow query and VM build times and limiting scalability under load.
By moving MySQL and VM images from SAS disks onto SanDisk Fusion ioMemory ioDrive cards and consolidating six servers into two, WeMakePrice achieved massive gains: 120x faster random‑access queries, 6x faster VM build/launch, 3x faster migrations, 3:1 footprint consolidation, lower capital and operating costs, improved developer productivity, and better customer conversion and loyalty.
