The integration of KAYTUS servers has significantly elevated the Polish portal website's business, incorporating computing resources, expanding storage capacity, and leveraging virtualization solutions to boost resource utilization by over 20% which perfectly carries 100% growth in website access demand.

Customer Introduction

This client is a very popular portal website and media company in Poland, providing a wide range of digital services, including email, news, lifestyle entertainment, e-commerce, etc.

This website and Apps of the client are the most visited platforms in Poland, developed with Polish and English versions. It has millions of daily user visits and serves as a "window" for local and global users to understand Poland.

Project Background

The epidemic has posed huge challenges to the Polish media industry, but it has concurrently opened doors for media innovation. The Polish internet media market is massive, and the position of digital media in the Polish media industry is rapidly rising, consequently leading to an increasing demand for portal website access. Notably, the market share of our client's website is on a continuous upward trajectory.   Looking ahead, the client proposes a strategic expansion of service offerings over the next five years with the goal of establishing the company's website as the foremost commercial portal in Poland.

To align with this objective, customers need to complete the update and replacement of old devices in the current data center, increase the computing resources of website backend devices, extend the data storage space, expand the scale of the data center, and improve the carrying capacity of customer website visits.

Challenges

1) The impact of the epidemic and heightened customer awareness have resulted in a surge in portal website traffic. Based on the customer statistics, the daily website traffic has doubled compared to the same period last year. Consequently, the existing device infrastructure supporting business operations is under enormous pressure, with access and response speeds delayed by over 10%. Therefore, customers urgently need infrastructure with robust computing capacity, better storage, and faster response times to ensure the seamless functioning of the website.

2) Portal website visits have certain peak and off-peak differences based on the visit time.  To address these necessities, the infrastructure to have load-balancing capabilities to cope with peak performance demands.

3）Some of the equipment purchased in the early stage is outdated and needs to be updated or replaced. Based on the existing business demands of the company, such as short videos and AI interaction, the data centers need to be equipped with flexible computing power and sufficient storage capacity.

KAYTUS Solution

To satisfy the escalating demands of user traffic growth and address peak and off-peak scenarios, KAYTUS offers a virtualization solution leveraging its flagship servers, enabling customer data centers to provide enhanced computing power, lower latency, and higher storage capacity：

1) KAYTUS has proposed 1U2 sockets Intel platform-based servers, paired with high-performance CPUs and self-developed NVME hard drives which ensures high performance within congested cabinet space and meets the diverse requirements of portal websites.

2) To optimize the storage of user information and other data on portal websites, it is highly recommended to employ 2U2 sockets Intel platform servers. The servers need to be equipped with high-capacity SATA HDDs and self-developed NVME hard drives to achieve tiered storage solutions for customer's hot and cold data. At the same time, expansion cables and brackets are also provided for customers’ potential expansion needs brought by data growth in the following stage.

3) The integration of hardware devices with VMware virtualization solutions enables dynamic resource adjustments that align with fluctuations in peak and off-peak traffic on customer websites. This approach enhances resource utilization and effectively mitigates performance challenges confronted by users during periods of high website traffic.

Customer Benefits

1) Provided virtualization solutions, coupled with high-performance hardware devices and advanced network resources which enhanced the resource utilization by over 20% during peak and off-peak periods of website visits.

2) The backend information of the customer website is stored in a tiered manner based on the hot and cold data. Compared to the original unified solid-state drive storage, it provides larger storage capacity while avoiding user access rate bottlenecks and reducing hardware equipment costs by 15%.

3) At the same time, materials for subsequent upgradation and expansion have been provided, thereby reducing the difficulty of further expansion, and facilitating customers to effortlessly enhance various capacities and specifications of hard drives based on real-time website access and new requirements in the future. Utterly, the customer experienced a flexible expansion of their existing platform.
