Data corruption is the damage of info caused by various hardware or software fails. Once a file is corrupted, it will no longer work as it should, so an app will not start or will give errors, a text file could be partially or completely unreadable, an archive will be impossible to open and unpack, etc. Silent data corruption is the process of data getting harmed without any acknowledgement by the system or an administrator, that makes it a serious problem for hosting servers as fails are much more likely to occur on larger in size hard disk drives where considerable volumes of information are located. If a drive is part of a RAID and the info on it is duplicated on other drives for redundancy, it is more than likely that the bad file will be treated as a good one and it will be copied on all the drives, making the damage permanent. A lot of the file systems that run on web servers today often are not able to recognize corrupted files in real time or they need time-consuming system checks through which the server is not working.

No Data Corruption & Data Integrity in Website Hosting

We warrant the integrity of the data uploaded in any website hosting account that is created on our cloud platform since we work with the advanced ZFS file system. The latter is the only one which was designed to prevent silent data corruption through a unique checksum for each and every file. We shall store your information on a large number of SSD drives which operate in a RAID, so the same files will be present on several places simultaneously. ZFS checks the digital fingerprint of all the files on all drives in real time and in the event that the checksum of any file differs from what it should be, the file system replaces that file with an undamaged copy from another drive inside the RAID. No other file system uses checksums, so it is possible for data to become silently damaged and the bad file to be replicated on all drives with time, but since this can never happen on a server running ZFS, you will not have to concern yourself with the integrity of your info.

No Data Corruption & Data Integrity in Semi-dedicated Servers

Your semi-dedicated server account will be resistant to silent data corruption since all our storage servers employ the efficient ZFS file system. What makes the latter unique is that it employs checksums, or digital identifiers, so as to ensure the integrity of every single file. When you upload content to your account, it will be saved on a couple of redundant drives employed in a RAID i.e. the files will be the same on all drives. All copies of a given file will feature the same checksum on all hard drives and ZFS will compare the checksums of the duplicates quickly, so if it discovers a mismatch, which will indicate that one of the copies is damaged, it'll substitute that file with a healthy copy from one of the other drives. Even if there is a sudden power failure, the data on the servers will not be corrupted and there won't be any need for a time-consuming system check which other file systems perform following some failure, prolonging the time needed for the server to get back online. ZFS is the sole file system which can really protect your content from silent data corruption.
