MySpace and Fusion-io recently announced they are working together to reduce costs associated with datacenter operations. Using Fusion-io’s ioDrive solid-state disks MySpace replaced 150 of their standard load servers, and reduced the headcount of their heavy load servers from 80 to 30. Overall the companies report in a white-paper published recently a reduction of 51% in server footprint as a result. MySpace, according to the white-paper, plans to replace over 1700 of their remaining 2U servers as they reach their end-of-life.

I was speaking with a CIO just the other day who had told me to look out for Fusion-io saying that they might well be the next big thing, anyway, an interesting article talking about how MySpace is using their technology to reduce their operational costs, very cool.
