NVMe Cloud Hosting: Everything You Need To Know

If you’ve already heard about NVMe cloud hosting before arriving here, congratulations! You’re among a small minority of future-thinking developers who are already looking for the next big thing in cloud hosting.

Getting one for your personal computer is pretty cost-prohibitive still, and that’s what makes the cloud so compelling—you can, pretty cheaply, get a piece of an NVMe drive in a high-speed data center for a much smaller investment. Of course, NVMe cloud hosting is much more than just a drive. Let’s dive in.

All the common disk storage technology, such as spinning disks and solid-state drives, are non-volatile memory. In contrast, volatile memory is that which loses its data when power is cut. Your machine’s RAM is a great example. We can now infer that an NVMe drive uses non-volatile memory technology that
