Server Description
A memory-optimized server configuration featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and a high RAM-to-vCPU ratio for memory-intensive enterprise workloads.
Alibaba Cloud ecs.u2i-c1m8.8xlarge is an x86_64 server instance running on the KVM hypervisor. It is equipped with 32 dedicated Intel Xeon physical cores operating at 2.7 GHz, with one thread per core. The instance features 256.0 GB of system memory, providing a high 1:8 vCPU-to-RAM ratio of 8.0 GB per core. It does not include local storage or GPU accelerators, relying on external network storage and offering a baseline network bandwidth of 16 Gbps. This resource profile is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-intensive workloads that require substantial RAM capacity without the need for local disk performance or graphics acceleration. Appropriate workloads include in-memory databases, caching layers, and large-scale data processing.
