21. An Example:
SuperCo has developed a low-cost technology that
reduces the vibration caused by hard drives and cooling
fans in data centers.
Because vibration reduces the performance of hard
drives, our technology increases performance by up to
2.5x, as we’ve shown with our three initial customers.
Unlike other solutions that require a redesign of the
server, we can save our customers 40% of their total cost.
