      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A storage-dense virtual server featuring high-capacity local SSD and balanced memory, optimized for caching and localized database workloads.

      Storage & DatabaseMemory Optimized

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.i2ne.2xlarge is an x86_64 server featuring 8 dedicated Intel Xeon 8163 vCPUs running at 2.5 GHz, 64.0 GB of RAM, and 1919 GB of local SSD storage. Operating on a KVM hypervisor, it provides a baseline network bandwidth of 2 Gbps. Performance benchmarks indicate a weak compute profile, with stress-ng and Geekbench scores placing in the bottom 25%, and single-threaded gzip compression in the bottom 10%. However, it maintains average performance in large-block memory bandwidth and Redis SET operations, which reach 6.02 million operations per second. Given its high storage capacity and 1:8 vCPU-to-RAM ratio, the instance offers qualitative cost efficiency for storage-centric workloads. It is best suited for local databases, caching layers, and applications requiring significant local SSD capacity rather than intensive CPU processing.

      Workload Profiles

      0.338Score
      Precomputed compound score for Cache Intensive workloads. A weighted average (geometric mean) of benchmark scores compared to their medians: score = ∏ (x_i / m_i)^(w_i / Σw). The score of 1.0 represents a synthetic baseline server with the median performance of each component benchmark; 0.5 means roughly half the performance; and 2.0 means twice the performance of that reference profile. Component weights: 50% Redis RPS (pipeline=1, SET), 20% Redis RPS (pipeline=16, SET), 10% PassMark Memory Mark (composite), 10% Memory bandwidth (read, 16 MB ~ L3), 10% PassMark single-thread CPU. Rationale for component selection: In-memory key-value store workload, mixing direct Redis performance metrics with memory speed and latency benchmarks, and single-core CPU performance profiles.
