InnoDB is a storage engine for MySQL databases, which is used by famous PHP-driven web apps like Joomla™ 3.x and Magento. It’s excellent for scalable apps, because it works really well when managing huge volumes of data. Instead of locking the whole database table to insert new information in a database as many other engines do, InnoDB locks only one database row, so it can carry out a lot more tasks for the same length of time. Additionally, InnoDB offers a much faster database failure recovery and supports database transactions and foreign keys – a set of rules that indicate how data inserts and modifications should be treated. If a particular task has not been entirely completed for any reason, the action will be rolled back. Thus, the information in the database will remain intact and will not be partially mixed with newly added content.

InnoDB is used by scalable apps and since a dedicated server will give you all the system resources that you need to manage large-scale sites, it is pretty possible that you will use InnoDB. You will be able to make use of other engines too, so in case a given app needs MyISAM instead of InnoDB, you will not encounter any impediment while managing it. The engine that will be used will be automatically detected when the app installation procedure starts, so you won’t need to change any settings manually at any moment.
