    Server Description

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

    Storage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Amazon Web Services d3en.4xlarge is a dense storage instance designed for capacity-heavy workloads. Powered by the AWS Nitro hypervisor, it features an Intel Xeon 8259CL x86_64 processor with 16 vCPUs, 8 physical cores, and 64.0 GB of DDR4 memory. The instance is equipped with 111,840 GB of local HDD storage and a baseline network bandwidth of 25 Gbps. Performance benchmarks reveal a distinct tradeoff: single-core CPU performance is weak, falling in the bottom 25%, while multi-core processing, memory bandwidth, and database operations perform at average levels. Given its massive storage capacity and moderate parallel processing capabilities, the d3en.4xlarge is highly suited for distributed file systems, data lakes, and large-scale data warehousing where storage density is prioritized over high-speed single-threaded compute.

    Workload Profiles

    0.785Score
    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.
