A top Southeast Asian e-commerce platform struggled with limited cabinet space, extreme peak traffic surges and high power costs. 100Glight’s high-density breakout solution lifted port density by 400%, reduced power consumption by 25%, eliminated peak-season congestion, and boosted order efficiency and user retention significantly.

Client Background

A top 3 Southeast Asian e-commerce platform focuses on cross-border e-commerce, live-streaming sales, and local retail businesses, with over 10 million daily orders and a 10x traffic surge during peak sales seasons. The legacy data center adopted fragmented 100G networking, featuring low port density and insufficient cabinet space. Network congestion and slow server response during peak seasons caused frequent order freezes and payment delays, severely harming user experience and revenue. The platform urgently needed a high-density, high-elasticity, easy-to-scale optical module solution to double bandwidth within limited equipment room space, support peak traffic surges, and meet daily elastic expansion demands.

Core Challenges

Saturated Equipment Room Space: Fully configured cabinets with no room for new equipment, requiring maximum port density and space utilization.
Extreme Traffic Fluctuation: Huge gaps between daily and peak-season traffic, demanding elastic network expansion to cope with peak pressure rapidly.
High Power Consumption Costs: Legacy modules consumed excessive power, driving up equipment room electricity and cooling costs, requiring low-power solutions for cost reduction.
Poor Peak-Season Stability: Frequent packet loss and freezes during peak periods, requiring 7×24 high availability with zero service interruptions.

100Glight Solution

100Glight launched a high-density breakout optical interconnection expansion solution to maximize bandwidth in minimal space, with a core product portfolio including:

400G QSFP-DD DR4 Breakout Optical Transceiver: Splits a single port into 4 channels of 100G signals, increasing port density by 4x
100G QSFP28 SR4 High-Density Optical Transceiver: Compact size, low power consumption, ideal for high-density cabinet deployment

All series feature a compact size with single-port power consumption as low as 3.2W, 22% lower than the industry average. They support elastic hot-swapping and second-level expansion for quick bandwidth scaling before peak seasons. Fully compatible with mainstream white-box switches and e-commerce servers, they enable plug-and-play operation. The DDM function monitors traffic load in real time, providing early peak pressure warnings to ensure network stability.

Deployment & Implementation

Based on the e-commerce data center's current situation, the 100Glight technical team developed a zero-downtime gray-scale deployment plan, completing breakout module installation during off-peak hours with testing before full launch, ensuring no disruption to core e-commerce transactions and payment services. Multiple peak-season scenario stress tests were conducted post-deployment to simulate 10x traffic peaks and optimize link configurations. Exclusive peak-season technical support was provided, with 7×24 remote on-duty service for rapid emergency response.

Project Results

Data center port density increased by 400%, no additional cabinets needed, space utilization optimized by 70%, resolving equipment room saturation.
Zero congestion and freezes during peak seasons, 50% faster order processing, and 35% lower user churn rate.
Overall power consumption reduced by 25%, cutting annual electricity and cooling costs by 30% and greatly optimizing TCO.
Elastic expansion mechanism flexibly adapts to traffic fluctuations, reducing daily O&M costs by 60% and supporting sustained high-speed business growth.

Client Testimonial

“100Glight's high-density breakout solution helped us solve data center expansion with minimal cost, delivering exceptional network stability during peak seasons and eliminating freezes and delays completely. The low-power, easy-to-deploy products and dedicated peak-season support from the technical team make them a reliable optical interconnection partner for the e-commerce industry.”
