Multi-threading is also supported and modern SSD memory modules in the enterprise environment are more robust. Furthermore, the resulting cost savings from lower depreciation on the part of the cloud provider mean that SSD will stay affordable well into the future. Processing costs in e-commerce or in brick and mortar retailing, for example, can be significantly reduced by using SSD storage. Last but not least, using SSD storage actively helps to reduce the ecological footprint of cloud computing by contributing to lower CO² emissions.
