A solid-state drive is significantly quicker than any regular hard-disk drive. It is because a hard-disk drive employs spinning disks, that can rotate only so fast and the more information is read and written, the sluggish and warmer they get, while an SDD employs modules of flash memory, therefore there are no actually moving parts. The access speeds for an SSD are a lot higher, which makes these drives the best solution when speed is needed. Because of this SSDs are in many cases used for the Operating System on a computer system and for keeping data that is accessed repeatedly on servers. A lot of service providers also use a combination of both drives, so they store the data on HDDs, but they use one or more SSDs to cache the more often used data and for that reason, the data loads a lot quicker while the load on the HDDs is reduced because their disks need to spin less often in order to read and write.

SSD with Data Caching in Cloud Hosting

We use exclusively SSDs on our cutting-edge cloud web hosting platform and we've removed all HDDs on our production servers as to provide improved loading speeds for all aspects of our services - files, emails and databases. This way, any content you upload to your cloud hosting account will be reachable amazingly quickly. In order to boost the overall performance of the websites hosted on our end even further, we also use a number of SSDs which function exclusively as cache - our system stores repeatedly accessed content on them and updates it automatically. We employ such a configuration to guarantee that multi-media loaded sites will never influence the performance of the other sites hosted on our platform and this way all other Internet sites can also take full advantage of the speed which the SSD drives provide. Furthermore, due to the fact that the load on the main drives is reduced, their life-span shall be longer, which is one more warranty for the safety and integrity of your info.

SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you subscribe for one of our semi-dedicated server solutions, we will store your content on SSD drives and this is valid not just for the files, but also for all the databases and e-mail messages. That way, your script-driven apps and webmail will load amazingly quickly. We work with dedicated SSDs for caching as well. Traffic-intensive content is duplicated automatically on these drives, so we make certain that a number of heavy Internet sites which generate a large amount of reading and writing processes will not influence the other sites which share the very same drive. By reduction of the overall system load we also increase the lifespan of the primary storage drives and lower the possibility of a disk failure, so by using SSD drives for caching purposes, we add another level of protection for your content.
