    Server Description

    A storage-optimized instance combining 7.5 TB of local NVMe SSD capacity with balanced multi-core performance for data-intensive workloads.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory Optimized

    Amazon Web Services i3en.3xlarge is a storage-optimized instance featuring an Intel Xeon 8259CL processor with 12 vCPUs, 6 physical cores, and 96.0 GB of DDR4 memory. Built on the Nitro hypervisor, it includes 7500 GB of local NVMe SSD storage and a baseline network bandwidth of 12 Gbps, with no GPU accelerators. Performance benchmarks show a distinct tradeoff: single-core CPU execution and single-threaded compression are weak, falling into the bottom 25%, while multi-core processing, memory bandwidth, and Redis SET operations achieve average tier results. The instance's high storage-to-compute ratio provides qualitative cost efficiency for data-dense environments. It is designed for workloads such as database hosting, transactional systems, and distributed file storage that require substantial local NVMe capacity and moderate multi-core processing power.

    Workload Profiles

    0.61Score
    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.
