    Server Description

    A storage-optimized instance featuring local NVMe SSD capacity and moderate memory for database operations and legacy data workloads.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory Optimized

    Amazon Web Services i2.2xlarge is a storage-optimized instance featuring 8 dedicated vCPUs on an Intel Xeon E5-2670 v2 processor running at 2.5 GHz. It is configured with 61.0 GB of RAM and a 1600 GB local NVMe SSD, operating on the Xen hypervisor with a 1 Gbps baseline network speed. Performance benchmarks show average multi-core CPU capabilities, with a stress-ng multi-core score of 7138.99 and a PassMark database operations score of 3356.02. However, single-core performance is weak, as shown by a Geekbench single-core score of 529.0. The instance lacks modern instruction sets like AVX-512, making it less suitable for intensive computation or modern AI workloads. It is appropriate for storage-intensive applications, static web serving, and database operations that benefit from local NVMe storage and moderate memory capacity.

    Workload Profiles

    0.308Score
    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.
