What is RAM-only Infrastructure?
RAM-only infrastructure is a revolutionary approach to data security where all operations occur exclusively in volatile memory. Unlike traditional systems that write data to persistent storage (SSDs, HDDs), RAM-only systems ensure that no data ever touches a physical disk.
Why Does This Matter?
When data is written to disk, it leaves traces that can potentially be recovered through:
- Forensic analysis
- Data recovery tools
- Physical access to storage media
With RAM-only infrastructure, when the power is cut, all data instantly and permanently vanishes.
How RAMonly Implements This
Our infrastructure is built on three core principles:
1. Volatile-Only Storage
Every server in our network boots from a read-only image and stores all runtime data exclusively in RAM. There are no writable disks attached to our servers.
2. Encrypted Memory
Even while data exists in RAM, it's protected by hardware-level encryption. This prevents cold boot attacks and memory dump exploits.
3. Automatic Purge Protocols
Our systems implement multiple layers of data purging:
- Session timeout: Inactive sessions are automatically cleared
- Connection termination: Data is purged immediately when you disconnect
- Scheduled memory wipes: Regular rotation ensures no data persists longer than necessary

Verification
We believe in transparency. You can independently verify our RAM-only claims through:
- Hardware audits - Third-party inspections of our server configurations
- Network analysis - Monitor traffic patterns to confirm no disk I/O
- Open documentation - Our infrastructure specs are publicly available
Conclusion
RAM-only infrastructure represents the gold standard in data privacy. By ensuring data physically cannot persist, we eliminate entire categories of security risks.
