Dedicated server, cloud hosting and infrastructure services provider, Hivelocity, announced this week they will now be offering Intels DC S3500 solid state drives with all new dedicated server offerings. Hivelocity is phasing out the last of their Intel 520 Series SSD inventory in favor of these newest Intel drives.

The engineers at Intel have designed this new SSD product line for the usage patterns and applications found in the datacenter. Compared to the 520 series, the new DC S3500 offers increased random-read IOPS as well as more consistent performance curves for more predictable performance under sustained loads.

Increased on-board cache and improved manufacturing processes make the DC S3500 series ideal for RAID arrays in typical Web Server applications. As with the 520 series SSD drives, the DC S3500 series features enhanced power-loss data protection. Furthermore, the new third-generation controller found within the DC S3500 exhibits much lower read latency over the entire disk than previous models. Combined with high mean times between failures, the DC S3500 series offers great performance and reliability ready for the cloud and beyond.

Hivelocity will be offering these SSD in 120GB, 160GB, 300GB, 480GB and 600GB sizes on all dedicated servers. Hivelocity is currently offering promotions to unload the remaining 520 series drives they have in stock as well as specials on the S3500 series. We are doing everything we can to entice customers to take an SSD over a traditional spinning disk. The customers cannot believe the performance improvements they experience. The servers fly, says Hivelocity Engineer Barry Stetler. As with the Intel 320 and 520 series, we high expectations for the DC S3500 series to offer great reliability and performance.
