    Server Description

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

    Storage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Amazon Web Services h1.8xlarge is a storage-optimized server designed for high-capacity local storage workloads. Powered by an Intel Xeon E5-2686 v4 processor with 32 vCPUs and 16 physical cores, this x86_64 system includes 128.0 GB of RAM and 8000 GB of local HDD storage. Operating on the Xen hypervisor, it delivers a baseline network bandwidth of 12 Gbps. Benchmark data indicates average multi-core CPU and memory read performance, though single-core processing and memory write speeds are weak. This hardware profile offers qualitative cost efficiency for sequential data access and high-volume storage. The h1.8xlarge is suited for distributed file systems, data warehousing, and log processing applications.

    Workload Profiles

    0.952Score
    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.
