    Server Description

    A storage-optimized instance featuring high-capacity local NVMe SSD storage and balanced memory for data-intensive workloads with moderate compute requirements.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory Optimized

    Amazon Web Services i3en.xlarge is a storage-optimized instance powered by the Nitro hypervisor and an Intel Xeon 8259CL processor. It features 4 vCPUs, 32.0 GB of DDR4 memory, and a substantial 2500 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. While the instance provides high local storage capacity and a balanced 8.0 GB of memory per core, benchmark results show that its CPU and memory bandwidth performance generally fall into the bottom 25% tier. The Passmark memory score represents an exception, performing in the middle 50% tier. With a baseline network bandwidth of 4 Gbps, this instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for storage-heavy configurations. It is best suited for databases, caching systems, and storage-intensive applications that require large local NVMe capacities but have moderate computational demands.

    Workload Profiles

    0.255Score
    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.
