Within the highly competitive travel industry, having the flexibility to innovate is critical in meeting growing demands of consumers moving online to research and purchase travel products. With fluctuations in travel prices from suppliers impacting revenue, MakeMyTrip needed to maximize its margins by running efficient infrastructure.

MakeMyTrip wanted to consolidate its data center on high-performance servers to outpace market growth within the expanding online travel sector in India. They needed servers that deliver higher performance and could take more load without increasing density or energy consumption.
