ecs.re8.240xlarge by Alibaba Cloud

An ultra-high-density memory-optimized instance featuring nine hundred sixty dedicated physical cores and sixteen terabytes of system RAM.

Alibaba Cloud ecs.re8.240xlarge is an x86_64 memory-optimized server instance running on the KVM hypervisor. It is equipped with Intel Xeon 8490H processors operating at 1.9 GHz, delivering 960 dedicated physical cores with a single thread per core. The instance features an exceptionally large memory capacity of 16,384.0 GB, resulting in a resource density of 17.07 GB of RAM per core. Network performance is supported by a baseline bandwidth of 200 Gbps. However, the instance lacks local storage and integrated GPUs, requiring network-attached storage for data persistence. This hardware profile is designed for massive consolidation of memory-intensive workloads, making it highly suitable for large-scale in-memory databases, enterprise resource planning systems, and complex data analytics pipelines that require substantial memory capacity without the overhead of multi-node clustering.
