    Server Description

    A dense storage instance combining moderate x86 compute with massive local HDD capacity for data-intensive and network-optimized workloads.

    Storage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Amazon Web Services d3en.2xlarge is a dense storage instance designed for network and EBS-optimized workloads. It features an Intel Xeon 8259CL x86_64 processor with 8 vCPUs, 32.0 GB of DDR4 memory, and a baseline network bandwidth of 12 Gbps. The defining characteristic of this instance is its massive 55,920 GB of local HDD storage. Performance benchmarks show average capabilities in memory bandwidth and database operations, alongside weaker single-core and multi-core CPU performance, placing it in the bottom 25% for tasks like gzip compression and multi-threaded decompression. Given this hardware profile, the d3en.2xlarge is highly cost-efficient for storage-dense applications but presents a tradeoff in raw computational speed. It is best suited for workloads such as distributed file systems, data warehousing, and large-scale log processing where massive storage capacity is required alongside moderate compute resources.

    Workload Profiles

    0.44Score
    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.
