    Server Description

    A storage-optimized virtual server featuring high-capacity local NVMe SSD storage and balanced memory for data-intensive applications.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory Optimized

    Amazon Web Services i3.2xlarge is a storage-optimized instance powered by an Intel Xeon E5-2686 v4 processor with 8 vCPUs and 4 physical cores on the x86_64 architecture. It features 61.0 GB of memory and a bundled 1900 GB local NVMe SSD, operating under the Xen hypervisor with a 2 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Benchmark data shows modest compute and memory write performance, with a Geekbench single-core score of 893.0 and a multi-core score of 3348.0. Large-block memory reads achieve an average throughput of 41.72 GB/sec, while database operations like Redis SET perform at 2.37 million operations per second. This instance represents a qualitative tradeoff, prioritizing high-capacity local storage over raw processing speed. It is best suited for storage-intensive workloads, including NoSQL databases, transactional data stores, and log analytics, rather than compute-bound applications.

    Workload Profiles

    0.293Score
    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.
