    Server Description

    A dense storage instance featuring massive local HDD capacity and balanced memory for large-scale data processing and warehousing.

    Storage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Amazon Web Services d2.2xlarge is a dense storage instance designed for workloads requiring high local storage capacity. Powered by an Intel Xeon E5-2676 v3 processor on the x86_64 architecture, it features 8 vCPUs, 4 physical cores, and 61.0 GB of RAM. The defining feature of this instance is its 12,288 GB of local HDD storage, supported by a 2 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Benchmark data indicates modest CPU and memory performance, with single-core and multi-core metrics falling into the lower percentiles. Consequently, the d2.2xlarge is highly cost-efficient for storage-dense applications but less suited for compute-heavy tasks. It is ideal for data warehousing, MapReduce, Hadoop clusters, and large-scale log processing.

    Workload Profiles

    0.29Score
    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.
