Founded by two New Jersey high school students, myYearbook boasts year-over-year growth of more than 250 percent, making the acquisition of scalable and economical data centre solutions a top priority. myYearbook chose Rackable's 44U cabinets populated with Rackable C1002 half-depth servers to support its web applications, which serve a user base of over 10 million.

"Rackable's proven ability to ship a completely integrated data centre solution, pre-racked and pre-wired, gave us an immediate competitive advantage; we saved more than 150 man-hours right there", stated Jeremy Stinson, vice president of Network Operations at myYearbook. "Yet the overriding reason we chose Rackable servers to run almost 100 percent of our web tier is their extreme high density and low power consumption."

Rackable's Day One Advantage paradigm and patented half-depth server configurations allowed myYearbook to quickly and easily double the number of build-to-order servers it uses while simultaneously cutting overall power consumption by half. According to Jeremy Stinson, myYearbook also credits Rackable's unrivalled thermal management efficiencies with reducing server temperatures by more than 20 percent, even given that the company can now employ twice the number of servers in the same physical space.

"myYearbook understands that cost savings from denser, lower power solutions can significantly bolster their bottom line as they scale for the future", stated Tony Carrozza, senior vice president of Worldwide Sales and Marketing at Rackable Systems. "Web leaders like myYearbook rely on Rackable's innovative data centre designs for their superior scalability, energy-efficiency and best-in-class density."
