Server Description
An x86_64 server featuring dedicated Intel Xeon cores, a 1:8 memory-to-vCPU ratio, and 959 GB of local SSD storage.
Alibaba Cloud ecs.i4.xlarge is an x86_64 architecture server powered by an Intel Xeon 8369B processor operating at 2.7 GHz. It features 4 dedicated physical cores with 1 thread per core, providing 4 vCPUs alongside 32.0 GB of RAM. The instance is equipped with 959 GB of bundled local SSD storage and a baseline network bandwidth of 4 Gbps. Operating on the KVM hypervisor, this server offers a high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 8.0 GB per core. The integration of local SSD storage and dedicated CPU resources makes this instance qualitatively cost-efficient for workloads requiring fast local data access and consistent compute performance. The dedicated CPU allocation ensures predictable execution times, while the local SSD eliminates network latency for storage operations. It is designed for database hosting, caching layers, and storage-intensive applications.
