Shanda Information Services has successfully supported Taiwan’s leading car rental company, Hotai Leasing Corporation, in completing a major IT infrastructure upgrade through the deployment of a private cloud platform built on open-source technologies. This project not only significantly enhances the client’s operational efficiency but also establishes a robust and flexible technological foundation for Hotai’s long-term vision in smart mobility and data-driven business strategies.
As the digital era accelerates, Hotai Leasing has been proactively expanding its service boundaries—transforming from a traditional car rental provider into a diversified smart mobility service brand. With the rapid growth of its vehicle subscription programs, increasingly complex real-time fleet management needs, and deeper applications of customer data analytics, the company recognized an urgent need to modernize its IT infrastructure.
Leveraging its strong expertise in cloud technologies, Shanda Information designed and implemented a hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) that seamlessly integrates computing, storage, and networking resources. Built on open-source software to optimize both cost efficiency and reliability, the platform—engineered by Shanda’s technical team—delivers performance and stability on par with commercial HCI solutions. It not only supports Hotai’s current business demands but also provides scalability and flexibility for future innovation and growth.
A key highlight of this project lies in its comprehensive business continuity and security framework. Shanda implemented a multi-site disaster recovery strategy to ensure seamless system failover in the event of unexpected disruptions, safeguarding uninterrupted business operations. Additionally, intelligent monitoring and alert mechanisms enable Hotai’s IT team to proactively track system health, prevent potential issues, and ensure consistent service quality.
Shanda Information’s Chief Technology Officer stated: “We are honored to collaborate with an innovative and forward-thinking company like Hotai Leasing Corporation. The success of this project exemplifies the strength of collaboration among local enterprises in advancing cloud technologies and digital transformation. We believe this secure, scalable, and high-performance virtualization platform will serve as a powerful engine driving Hotai’s continued leadership and innovation in the smart mobility sector.”
