SSD is the future of storage

Unlike the traditional hard disks which store data on a magnetic platter, SSD technology uses flash memory (semi-conductors). An SSD does not contain any rotating parts and can access stored data entirely electronically instead of having to rely on an electromechanical device. Access to data is almost instantaneous and file transfer is considerably faster. With this technology, websites hosted with Infomaniak are even more reactive, better referenced and more attractive for visitors.

Reliability and energy savings

SSDs selected by Infomaniak to equip its servers are intended for professional use and guaranteed for 10 years by their designer. With a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 2 million hours, they have shown that they are both reliable and robust. These disks are designed to deal with 2800 terabytes written (TBW), which is the equivalent of a read/write workload of 800 Gb per day over a period of 10 years.

At maximum usage, these SSD disks feature the lowest energy consumption of all SSDs available on the market, without affecting their performance. Because of their cache memory, these professional SSDs ensure higher performance while consuming 30% less energy when active and 93% less when on standby.
