Our proprietary Smart Servers™ have already developed a strong reputation for blending the power of managed dedicated hosting with the flexibility of the cloud. Now imagine that power, only even faster and more reliable. This is the reality of our new solid state storage Smart Servers™! By introducing SSD to our new line of Smart Servers™ we have set the industry benchmark for I/O speeds, eclipsing our own record held by 96GB Smart Servers™
Benefits of Smart SSD
- Unrivaled database performance
- High I/O performance, eliminating starved CPU states
- Eliminate “bottleneck” effect
- Increased power, speed and performance
- Full redundancy
- Reduced I/O queues
Smart SSD raises the ceiling of what was previously considered “fast” in any line of servers. In a recent benchmarking test, Smart SSD 12GB performed 4K Sequential Write at 225,000 IOPS. By contrast, an 8GB Smart Server performed the test at 15,000 IOPS with Amazon EC2 m1.large cloud clocking in at 4,900. This is the level of performance our users will come to expect from a product designed to use the lowest possible server load and maximize your performance.
