    Server Description

    A storage-optimized virtual server featuring dedicated Intel Xeon cores, balanced memory capacity, and high-capacity local NVMe SSD storage.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory Optimized

    Amazon Web Services i2.2xlarge is a storage-optimized instance featuring 8 vCPUs and 4 physical cores powered by an Intel Xeon E5-2670 v2 processor running at 2.5 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture and Xen hypervisor, it is equipped with 61.0 GB of RAM and 1600 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. Performance benchmarks show average results for stress-ng CPU tests and PassMark database operations, though Geekbench scores and memory write bandwidth are weak. The instance provides a baseline network bandwidth of 1 Gbps. Given its high storage-to-vCPU ratio and moderate compute capabilities, the i2.2xlarge is suited for database hosting, localized data processing, and static web serving workloads that benefit from local NVMe storage but do not require high-speed network throughput or advanced CPU instruction sets.

    Workload Profiles

    0.36Score
    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.
