Server Description
A dedicated processor instance featuring high-capacity local SSD storage and balanced memory for demanding database and storage-intensive workloads.
Alibaba Cloud ecs.i4.8xlarge is a storage-optimized server instance built on the x86_64 architecture and managed via the KVM hypervisor. It features 32 dedicated physical cores and 32 vCPUs powered by an Intel Xeon 8369B processor operating at 2.7 GHz, with a strict 1.0 thread-per-core allocation. The hardware configuration includes 256.0 GB of system memory, yielding 8.0 GB of RAM per core, alongside a massive bundled 7679 GB local SSD. Network performance is anchored by a 25 Gbps baseline bandwidth. Lacking GPU acceleration, this instance is engineered for high-density storage and database workloads. The combination of dedicated CPU resources and extensive local SSD capacity makes it highly efficient for hosting transactional databases, data warehousing, and latency-sensitive storage applications.
