    Server Description

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

    Storage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Amazon Web Services d3en.6xlarge is a dense storage instance designed for network and EBS-optimized workloads. It is powered by an Intel Xeon 8259CL processor with 24 vCPUs, 12 physical cores, and 96.0 GB of DDR4 memory. The instance stands out for its massive local storage capacity of 167,760 GB of HDD and a baseline network bandwidth of 40 Gbps. Performance benchmarks show weak single-core execution but average multi-core and memory bandwidth capabilities, with a Passmark CPU score of 20,039.62. This hardware configuration offers a cost-efficient solution for storage-dense applications where sequential read/write capacity is prioritized over low-latency SSD performance. It is highly suited for distributed file systems, data lakes, and large-scale data warehousing.

    Workload Profiles

    1.05Score
    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.
