Server Description
A compute-optimized virtual server featuring sixty-four dedicated AMD EPYC cores and a balanced two-gigabytes-per-core memory allocation for intensive processing workloads.
Alibaba Cloud ecs.c8a.16xlarge is a compute-optimized virtual machine instance featuring 64 dedicated vCPUs and 128.0 GB of system memory. Powered by AMD EPYC 9T24 processors running at 2.7 GHz on the x86_64 architecture, this KVM-based instance provides a resource density of 2.0 GB of RAM per core. It does not include local storage or GPU hardware, relying instead on network-attached storage and offering a baseline network bandwidth of 20 Gbps. The 1:2 vCPU-to-RAM ratio makes it a cost-efficient option for compute-intensive workloads that do not demand massive memory footprints. Appropriate use cases include high-traffic web serving, batch processing, CI/CD pipelines, and dedicated application servers.
