    Server Description

    A high-density storage and memory-optimized platform featuring massive local NVMe SSD capacity and strong multi-core database performance.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory Optimized

    Amazon Web Services i7ie.18xlarge is a storage-optimized instance featuring 72 vCPUs and 36 physical cores powered by an Intel Xeon 8559C processor at 3.2 GHz. It is equipped with 576.0 GB of DDR5 memory and a massive 45,000 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. Operating on the Nitro hypervisor, this instance delivers strong multi-core performance, with a PassMark CPU score of 82,956.08 and a PassMark database score of 32,734.62. It also achieves a top-tier static web serving throughput of 109.44 GB/sec and a Redis SET throughput of 91.92 million operations per second. While single-core performance is moderate and GPU acceleration is absent, the high local storage density and strong memory bandwidth make it highly cost-efficient for data-intensive applications. It is ideal for large-scale databases, data warehousing, and high-throughput web serving.

    Workload Profiles

    4.37Score
    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.
