    Server Description

    A dense storage server featuring massive local HDD capacity and high network bandwidth for data-intensive and distributed file system workloads.

    Storage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Amazon Web Services d3en.12xlarge is a dense storage server built on the Nitro hypervisor, featuring 48 vCPUs (24 physical Intel Xeon 8259CL cores) running at 3.1 GHz and 192.0 GB of DDR4 memory. It is equipped with a massive 335,520 GB of local HDD storage and a 75 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Benchmark results place its multi-core CPU, memory bandwidth, and database operations in the average tier, while single-core performance represents a tradeoff, scoring in the bottom 25%. This server provides a cost-effective solution for high-capacity storage needs by utilizing HDDs instead of solid-state media. It is best suited for data-intensive workloads, distributed file systems, and large-scale data warehousing where massive local capacity and high network throughput are required.

    Workload Profiles

    1.65Score
    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.
