    Server Description

    An ARM64 storage-optimized instance featuring dedicated Graviton cores, top-tier memory bandwidth, and a high-capacity local NVMe SSD.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory Optimized

    The Amazon Web Services i8g.2xlarge is a storage-optimized server featuring an 8-core AWS Graviton Neoverse-V2 ARM64 processor running at 2.8 GHz on the Nitro hypervisor. It delivers 64.0 GB of system memory and a bundled 1875 GB local NVMe SSD, supported by a 5 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Performance benchmarks highlight a top-tier PassMark memory score in the top 10% and strong single-threaded bzip3 decompression. However, cryptographic performance is a notable tradeoff, scoring in the bottom 25% on the PassMark encryption test. With an average Redis throughput of 17.53 million SET operations per second and balanced database operation benchmarks, this instance is well-suited for local storage-dependent databases, caching layers, and memory-intensive data processing workloads that benefit from dedicated ARM64 cores and high-density local NVMe storage.

    Workload Profiles

    1.05Score
    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.
