    Server Description

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

    Storage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Amazon Web Services d3.4xlarge is a dense storage instance designed for data-intensive workloads requiring massive local storage capacity. Powered by the AWS Nitro hypervisor, it features an Intel Xeon 8259CL x86_64 processor with 16 dedicated vCPUs and 128.0 GB of DDR4 memory. The server is equipped with 23,760 GB of local HDD storage and a baseline network bandwidth of 12 Gbps. Benchmark results show weak single-core CPU performance but average multi-core and memory bandwidth capabilities. This hardware profile offers high qualitative cost efficiency for sequential storage density, making it a strong fit for distributed file systems, data warehousing, MapReduce, and large-scale log processing where massive sequential storage is required.

    Workload Profiles

    0.765Score
    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.
