    Server Description

    A storage-optimized instance featuring high-capacity local HDD storage and balanced multi-core processing for sequential data workloads.

    Storage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Amazon Web Services h1.4xlarge is a storage-optimized instance featuring 16 vCPUs, 64.0 GB of RAM, and 4000 GB of local HDD storage. Powered by an Intel Xeon E5-2686 v4 processor running at 2.3 GHz on the Xen hypervisor, it delivers a baseline network bandwidth of 5 Gbps. Benchmark data reveals a significant performance tradeoff: while multi-core CPU execution, software compilation, and static web serving achieve average marks, single-core processing and large-block memory write bandwidth are weak. This hardware profile is qualitatively cost-effective for sequential, high-capacity storage needs. It is appropriate for workloads such as distributed file systems, MapReduce, and data processing tasks that prioritize storage volume over high-speed random I/O.

    Workload Profiles

    0.495Score
    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.
