LANSING – Storm On Demand, the cloud hosting arm of managed hosting provider Liquid Web, has announced its latest High Performance hosting product – Storm SSD.
In Storm SSD, Storm On Demand has tweaked its Cloud Servers to include Solid State Drives and full redundancy. This innovation sees Storm On Demand increasing the power and speed of a product which was already the fastest available I/O Performer in the Cloud market.
?Storm SSD is ideal for High Performance web applications, large databases and indexes, as well as any environment in which data is subject to frequent access,? said Liquid Web CEO, Matthew Hill. ?By improving upon our already rapid I/O performance, we are eager to see the new horizons our customers are able to explore.?
As Solid State technology has opened doors for innovation and improvement amongst the hosting community, the engineers at Storm On Demand saw an opportunity to deliver an unparalleled High Performance product with Storm SSD. Delivering I/O Rates and access times that are impossible to achieve with a traditional disk based system, this new product will load faster and perform data base queries much more rapidly than any other Cloud Hosting product.
In a recent benchmarking test, Storm SSD 12GB performed 4K Sequential Writes at 225,000 IOPS. By contrast, Storm?s non-SSD 8GB instance performed the test at 15,000 IOPS with Amazon EC2 m1.large clocking in at 4,900. In addition to improved speed, Storm SSD will operate with a low server load, eliminating bottlenecks and enabling your server?s processing power to be fully utilized.
By enabling enhanced usage of your resources and providing full redundancy, Storm SSD will provide great value outside of its High Power improvements. Storm On Demand anticipates Storm SSD to be one of the year?s most significant Cloud Hosting achievements.
