    Server Description

    A storage-optimized instance bundling massive local NVMe SSD capacity with balanced multi-core performance for data-intensive database workloads.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Amazon Web Services i3.8xlarge is a storage-optimized instance featuring 32 vCPUs and 16 physical cores powered by an Intel Xeon E5-2686 v4 processor running at 2.3 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture under the Xen hypervisor, it includes 244.0 GB of RAM and a substantial 7600 GB of local NVMe SSD storage, alongside a 12 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. While single-core CPU benchmarks and single-threaded compression tasks perform poorly, landing in the bottom 10% to 25%, its multi-core capabilities and memory read bandwidth consistently rank in the average tier. This resource profile offers qualitative cost efficiency for storage-heavy applications by bundling massive local NVMe capacity directly with the instance. The i3.8xlarge is highly suited for database operations, NoSQL systems, and high-throughput local storage workloads.
