The server infrastructure consists of over 4,500 web servers (running [[Windows Server 2003]], [[Internet Information Services|IIS]] 6.0, [[ASP.NET]] and [[.NET Framework]] 3.5), over 1,200 cache servers (running 64-bit Windows Server 2003), and over 500 database servers (running 64-bit Windows Server 2003 and SQL Server 2005), as well as a custom distributed file system which runs on [[Gentoo Linux]].

In 2009, MySpace began migrating from [[Hard disk drive|HDD]] to [[Solid-state drive|SSD]] technology in some of their servers, resulting in space and power usage savings.<ref name="infoq-ssd">{{cite news|url=http://www.infoq.com/news/2009/12/myspace-ssd|title=MySpace Replaces Storage with Solid-State Drive Technology in 150 Standard Load Servers|work=InfoQ.com|date=December 12, 2009|access-date=December 12, 2009|archive-date=June 16, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100616130137/http://www.infoq.com/news/2009/12/myspace-ssd|url-status=live}}</ref>
