Offering a first-of-its kind ad tech solution, Tapad handles some 150 billion ad impressions each month and delivers targeted advertising campaigns to consumers across multiple devices, including nearly 2 billion smartphones, tablets, PCs and smart TVs.

Provides automatic rebalancing and fault-tolerance, ensuring that there is no degradation to performance even during upgrades and hardware backups and restores.
Minimizes IT overhead via flash-optimization and cost-effective use of industry-standard hardware.
