    Server Description

    A dense storage instance combining massive local HDD capacity with balanced multi-core performance for data-intensive workloads.

    Storage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Amazon Web Services d3.4xlarge is a dense storage instance featuring an Intel Xeon 8259CL processor with 16 vCPUs (8 physical cores) running at 3.1 GHz, 128.0 GB of DDR4 RAM, and 23,760 GB of local HDD storage. Operating on the Nitro hypervisor, this x86_64 server delivers a baseline network bandwidth of 12 Gbps. Benchmark results indicate weak single-core CPU performance, but average multi-core capabilities and memory bandwidth. The massive local HDD capacity makes this instance highly cost-efficient for storage-dense workloads, trading off the high random IOPS of solid-state drives for high sequential throughput. It is best suited for distributed file systems, data lakes, log processing, and big data analytics that require massive local capacity without the premium cost of solid-state storage.

    Workload Profiles

    0.76Score
    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.
