    Server Description

    A storage-optimized instance delivering 15 TB of local NVMe SSD capacity and balanced multi-core performance for data-intensive workloads.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Amazon Web Services i3en.6xlarge is a storage-optimized instance powered by an Intel Xeon 8259CL processor with 24 vCPUs and 12 physical cores running at 3.1 GHz on the Nitro hypervisor. It features 192.0 GB of DDR4 memory and a massive 15,000 GB of local NVMe SSD storage, alongside 25 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. While single-core performance benchmarks like stress-ng and Geekbench register in the lower 25th percentile, multi-core execution, memory bandwidth, and database operations consistently achieve average tier results. This hardware profile offers high storage density and qualitative cost efficiency for data-intensive applications. It is highly suited for large-scale databases, NoSQL stores, and transactional workloads requiring high-capacity local NVMe storage.

    Workload Profiles

    1.02Score
    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.
