Managed hosting provider WiredTree announced new faster SSD storage on its dedicated hosting services. The web host said it made the high-speed SSDs available as standard with all new dedicated servers. It is also introducing optional enhanced SSD storage with write performance characteristics an order of magnitude faster than standard drives.
“As a hosting company, we want our clients to have access to the best, the fastest, and the most advanced server technology on the market. They depend on our technology to support their sites and businesses, and part the reason we are so trusted by our clients is their knowledge that they’ll always have the server components and support they need to stay competitive”, says Zac Cogswell, President of WiredTree.
WiredTree said it will replace the current Intel S3500 drives with Intel S3510 SSD drives for all new dedicated server hosting contracts and SSD storage volumes. According to the web host the Intel S3510 SSD drives write up to 500 MB/s and read up to 460 MB/s.
The company said it will also offer optional upgrades to Intel S3610 and Intel S3710 drives, which can bring a ten-fold performance increase on standard drives, “making them perfect for use as dedicated database SSDs and for other applications where data I/O speeds are critical for performance”.
WiredTree uses Intel Xeon E3 and E5 processors and SuperMicro motherboards.
