Data corruption is the damage of information because of various hardware or software problems. After a file is corrupted, it will no longer work accurately, so an app will not start or shall give errors, a text file could be partially or fully unreadable, an archive will be impossible to open and then unpack, etc. Silent data corruption is the process of data getting damaged without any acknowledgement by the system or an administrator, which makes it a significant problem for website hosting servers as failures are much more likely to happen on larger in size hard disks where large volumes of info are placed. In case a drive is a part of a RAID and the information on it is copied on other drives for redundancy, it is more than likely that the damaged file will be treated as a regular one and it will be duplicated on all of the drives, making the harm permanent. A huge number of the file systems that operate on web servers nowadays often are not able to recognize corrupted files right away or they need time-consuming system checks during which the server isn't functioning.

No Data Corruption & Data Integrity in Cloud Website Hosting

We warrant the integrity of the information uploaded in any cloud website hosting account that is created on our cloud platform because we employ 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'll store your information on a large number of NVMe drives that work in a RAID, so identical files will be accessible on several places at once. ZFS checks the digital fingerprint of all the files on all of the drives in real time and in the event that the checksum of any file is different from what it should be, the file system swaps that file with an undamaged version from a different drive in the RAID. No other file system uses checksums, so it's possible for data to get silently corrupted and the bad file to be replicated on all drives over time, but since this can never happen on a server using ZFS, you don't have to worry about 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 because all our storage servers make use of the state-of-the-art ZFS file system. What makes the latter unique is that it employs checksums, or digital identifiers, to guarantee the integrity of each file. When you upload content to your account, it will be placed on a couple of redundant drives in a RAID i.e. the files will be the same on all drives. All the copies of a specific file will have the same checksum on all drives and ZFS will compare the checksums of the copies right away, so if it detects a mismatch, which will indicate that one of the copies is corrupted, it will swap that file with a good copy from one of the other drives. Even if there's a sudden blackout, the data on the servers will not get corrupted and there will not be any need for a time-consuming system check that other file systems perform following some breakdown, prolonging the time needed for the server to return online. ZFS is the sole file system that can really protect your content from silent data corruption.
