    Server Description

    A storage-dense instance featuring massive local NVMe SSD capacity and balanced memory for data-intensive database and transactional workloads.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory Optimized

    Amazon Web Services i3en.3xlarge is a storage-optimized instance designed for data-intensive workloads. Powered by an Intel Xeon 8259CL processor with 12 vCPUs and 6 physical cores, it features 96.0 GB of DDR4 memory and a substantial 7500 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. Operating on the AWS Nitro hypervisor, the instance provides 12 Gbps of baseline network bandwidth. Benchmark results show average multi-core CPU performance and memory bandwidth, though single-core performance is relatively weak. This hardware profile makes the instance highly cost-efficient for storage-heavy and memory-intensive applications rather than compute-bound tasks. It is well-suited for distributed databases, transactional systems, and large-scale data warehousing.

    Workload Profiles

    0.583Score
    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.
