"Rackable's proven ability to ship a completely integrated data center solution, pre-racked and pre-wired, gave us an immediate competitive advantage; we saved more than 150 man-hours right there," said 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."

According to 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.
