We handle massive operations: hundreds of petabytes of storage, 3.5 billion active logins per day, and nearly half an exabyte of internet traffic annually. We don’t just use technology; we push it to its limits, break it, then innovate on solutions that lead the industry forward. Our commitment to active-active and high-availability environments is proven and sustained.
