c4a-highmem-32-lssd by Google Cloud Platform

A high-density memory instance featuring dedicated x86_64 compute cores designed for demanding in-memory databases and enterprise caching workloads.

Google Cloud Platform c4a-highmem-32-lssd is an x86_64 architecture server within the c4a family, configured with 32 dedicated vCPUs and 256.0 GB of RAM. This setup yields a high memory-to-core ratio of 8.0 GB per vCPU, positioning it as a memory-optimized resource. The instance features dedicated CPU allocation for predictable performance and does not include GPU accelerators. While the local storage size is officially designated as none, the basic configuration details reference six local SSDs. This server is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-bound applications, offering high memory density relative to its compute allocation. It is well-suited for workloads such as in-memory databases, large caching layers, enterprise application hosting, and memory-intensive data processing tasks that do not require graphics acceleration.
