Years ago, we got rid of all old style hard disks, and replaced all our storage needs with enterprise and data center edition SSDs.

It was a long migration, which took many months, but in the end, we improved the overall speed of our VPS hosting platform, ColossusCloud. Our clients now enjoy the faster I/O speeds offered by SSD storage.

Now, as the years pass, and our customer's data usage grows, we continue innovating in this field with extensive research on a variety of SSD models in the market.

Recently, we have evolved to begin using SSD disks with up to 3.84TBs of capacity, made by Samsung. You can see some of those at our Instagram page.

Not only that, but we use these SSDs in a distributed manner, using the powerful Ceph, a software defined storage system. It replicates the data used by each VPS three times and then distributes those three pieces across multiple servers and multiple SSDs. It doesn't matter if a SSD fails (and they do fail!) or a Ceph server fails, your VPS will continue operating as normal.

SSD greatly improves the disk I/O of your VPS, allowing for you to copy, move and delete files faster, for your applications to open a lot faster and for your applications to manipulate data at faster rates.

And with new KVM virtualization technology and VirtIO drivers, versus our old Xen based virtualization technology, your Linux and Windows VPS can enjoy even faster read/write speeds.
