Abstract
A low-cost, high-performance data center is shown, which is in a hierarchical and heterogeneous architecture. The data center includes at least three groups of servers, providing three kinds of storage media to store three types of data. The three groups of servers are connected to each other via a computer network. For data with medium access frequency, the corresponding group of servers use multi-level cell solid-state drives as the storage media, and these particular multi-level cell solid-state drives operate in a full-disk pseudo-single-level-cell mode.
