“We saw the effect on the costs right away. After implementing Intel Tiber App-Level Optimization we saw a 50% memory reduction and a 20% CPU reduction, which eventually translated to an 18% cost reduction… Looking forward, we’re going to install Intel Tiber App-Level Optimization on all the other apps that we have”
