    Server Description

    A storage-optimized virtual server featuring high-capacity local NVMe SSDs and substantial memory for database and caching workloads.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory Optimized

    Amazon Web Services i2.4xlarge is a storage-optimized instance featuring 16 vCPUs, 122.0 GB of RAM, and 3200 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. Powered by an Intel Xeon E5-2670 v2 processor at 2.5 GHz on the Xen hypervisor, it delivers balanced multi-core performance for database operations and static web serving. However, its legacy x86_64 architecture lacks modern instruction sets like AVX-512, resulting in weaker single-core and memory write benchmarks. This instance is best suited for storage-intensive workloads, transactional databases, and caching layers that require high local storage capacity rather than high-performance compute.

    Workload Profiles

    0.59Score
    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.
