Do you have a website getting trampled by high-traffic? Would you like to see an improvement in performance? An upgrade to a Virtual Private Server (VPS) with the power of solid state drives (SSD) can deliver the scalability and speed you need. SSDs were developed for a demanding environment, but how do you know you’re getting the resources you’re paying for? With a long history of providing hosting solutions, Data102 knows that high standards and good value matter to customers. Built to perform, Data102’s VPS service offers customizable and scalable resources as well as an ever-growing list of add-ons to help you succeed.

Why Solid State Drives?

An upgrade to SSD technology seemed inevitable because of its incomparable speed and dependability. It’s for just that reason that they are perfect for hosting content-heavy websites, even when they attract large volumes of traffic. Conventional hard drives are limited by their spinning disks, which can’t compete with the solid drive’s immediate data transfer. IOPS (Input/Output Operations per Second) often exceed 40,000 per node, which translates to less than 0.05 millisecond disk latency. To give you an idea of what that means: according to the Harvard Database of Useful Biological Numbers it takes 100-400 millisecond to blink!

“The cloud” is a term being thrown around a lot these days, and for good reason. But many people really don’t understand exactly what “the cloud” is or how it affects them or their business. Though as cloud technology develops, it creates more and more opportunities for innovation and can ultimately lead to greater productivity and profits for your business.

What is “The Cloud”?

Basically, the cloud is a general term for the systems in place that allow individual users or companies to store files on a hosted server instead of a single computer. A basic example is Google Drive or Dropbox, which allow you to store a certain number of gigabytes for free on a server, which you can then access from any computer or mobile device with Internet access. The concept is simple, but the applications are leading to innovations that will dramatically change the digital landscape. More recently, applications and even entire servers have been added to the list of services cloud computing can provide.

Virtual Private Servers

Virtual private servers (VPS) harness the power of the cloud to provide a more affordable option for companies that don’t want the startup costs, maintenance, or service hassles that come with running their own servers. A virtual private server runs on a physical server owned and maintained by a provider, like Data102, and functions just like a regular server.

Thanks to new advances in virtualization, a VPS server can run multiple operating systems and software simultaneously. Businesses still have full access to their own software and manage their side of the server while Data102 takes care of the hardware.

The VPS solution has a number of benefits for small businesses, specifically:

Affordability
Scalability
Simplified disaster recovery
High availability
No external maintenance
Double network redundancy
Seamless integration with collocated servers, voice, backup systems, and firewalls
Website management through the Ops portal
