Data security 29

Note: A prerequisite for the support of more than 4 GB of RAM is that

the Windows operating system is equipped with the required mecha-

nisms (48.2 Extended memory).

9.5 Converting data

A RAM drive can optimize the process of converting photos, music or videos into

several different formats. Usually, the source data will be read again for every

new format generated. Putting them onto a RAM drive first will clearly accelerate

the subsequent data processing. This principle is, of course, also applicable for

any other types of data.

9.6 Database

You can use Miray RAM Drive to run a file-based database as an in-memory da-

tabase: copying it to a RAM drive and running them from there can improve ac-

cess time and transfer rates by a factor of 10-100. Do not forget to activate

48.4 Persistence mode, in order to save the data.

Note:

For servers running a Windows Server operating system,

Server is required.

9.7 Web server

Miray RAM Drive can help you speed up your Windows web server and thus in-

crease the number of simultaneous requests. The small latency of the RAM drive

is particularly useful when accessing static data or a 49.6 Database, allowing

your web server to utilize its full potential; just ensure to store your data files on

a persistent RAM drive.

Note:

For servers running a Windows Server operating system,

9.8 Data security

Files that are used infrequently (see 49.2 Temporary ﬁles) and should not re-

main on your computer for security reasons, a RAM drive ensures that these files

are not only deleted, but are completely removed after switching off the PC.

The files cannot be restored after deletion.
