While the world is rapidly shifting toward solid-state drives (SSD), Toshiba has proven that traditional hard drives (HDD) are far from obsolete. In autumn 2025, the company announced a major breakthrough — the creation of a technology that allows 12 magnetic platters to fit inside a standard 3.5-inch drive casing. This enables capacities of up to 40 terabytes (TB) per drive — a record for its class.
In today’s IT world, more and more companies are asking themselves: should we stay in the cloud or move to a dedicated server? At first glance, cloud infrastructure seems like the perfect solution — it’s flexible, scalable, requires no capital investment, and you pay only for what you use. However, as a business grows, workloads increase, and the need for security, stability, and control rises, there comes a point when “owning the hardware” starts to make sense. Moving from the cloud to a dedicated server is not just a technical change but a strategic decision that can reshape a company’s efficiency and economics.
Launching a startup is always a mix of ideas, speed, and technology. At the early stage, it’s not enough to build a product — you also need to ensure its stability. The server is the foundation of any online project, and its configuration determines whether your website can handle the first wave of users, how fast pages will load, and how easily the system can scale in the future. A wrong choice can cost time, money, and customer trust — so it’s worth approaching this decision carefully.
Launching a website on a new VPS is more than just uploading files. It’s a full process that includes configuring the server, connecting a domain, installing a security certificate, checking the website’s functionality, and optimizing its speed. If each stage is completed carefully, the website will run stably, quickly, and without issues — even under heavy load.
In the modern internet, every second counts. The loading speed of a website affects not only the first impression of a user but also search engine rankings, conversion rates, and even brand trust. If a page loads slowly — the user leaves. That’s why more and more businesses are switching to VPS with NVMe drives, which by 2025 have become the new standard of performance. This technology not only provides lightning-fast read and write speeds but also ensures stability, energy efficiency, and long-term server reliability. NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) is not just another evolution of SSDs — it’s a protocol designed specifically for flash storage that allows the system to work without delays and fully unlock the potential of modern hardware.
In today’s world, where online security is as essential as a lock on your front door, the HSTS protocol works quietly yet effectively. Every day, millions of people open websites, enter passwords, make purchases, or conduct online banking — often unaware that a hacker could intercept their connection. While an SSL certificate encrypts communication, HSTS ensures that users never connect to a site without HTTPS. It’s as if the browser receives a strict order: “Use HTTPS only — no exceptions.”
When your website is ready to go live, the most important step is ensuring that the server hosting it is properly secured. Many project owners focus on design, speed, or content but forget the essential foundation — protection against attacks and data leaks. On the internet, every server is a potential target for hackers, so security cannot be postponed. Proper preparation before launch helps avoid most risks and ensures stable website operation from day one.
In today’s digital world, every second of downtime can cost a company thousands of dollars. This is especially true in the IT sector, where the stability of servers, network systems, and data centers determines not only a company’s reputation but also its ability to function at all. Ukrainian IT companies working in software development, fintech, telecommunications, and cloud services have been actively investing in infrastructure capable of running continuously — even amid power outages, cyberattacks, or peak loads.
In today’s world, where digital technologies have become the foundation of nearly every process — from financial transactions to artificial intelligence — data centers have evolved into the heart of global infrastructure. Their stable operation directly depends on cooling efficiency. Every server, every processor in a rack generates heat, and if that heat isn’t dissipated in time, the system can lose performance or even fail. That’s why modern data centers invest heavily in intelligent cooling systems that not only reduce temperature but also optimize energy consumption and ensure stability under any conditions.
Ukrainian businesses are gradually reaching a new level — the level of global trade, where accepting payments from anywhere in the world becomes a normal process. And now, this path is becoming much easier thanks to Mastercard Gateway, a platform implemented by Oschadbank. This solution allows companies in Ukraine to accept international payments online, in mobile apps, or even in physical retail locations — without complicated setups or multiple intermediaries.
