However, increasing hardware capacity doesn’t really solve the problem, and it introduces new ones. If increasing hardware is the “work harder” answer to header bidding, then “work smarter” is the better option. DSPs and SSPs need to filter out low-value data quickly and cost-efficiently to free up capacity.
