    Server Description

    A storage-optimized virtual server featuring high-capacity local NVMe SSD storage and balanced memory for database and transactional workloads.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory Optimized

    Amazon Web Services i3en.2xlarge is a storage-optimized instance powered by an Intel Xeon 8259CL processor running at 3.1 GHz on the Nitro hypervisor. It features 8 vCPUs, 64.0 GB of DDR4 memory, and a substantial 5000 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. While its single-core CPU performance and LLM inference capabilities are weak, its multi-core CPU, memory bandwidth, and database operations perform at an average level. With a baseline network bandwidth of 8 Gbps and a high storage-to-compute ratio, this instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for storage-intensive applications. It is well-suited for workloads such as relational and non-relational databases, distributed file systems, and transactional caching layers that require high-capacity, low-latency local storage.

    Workload Profiles

    0.44Score
    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.
