c4a-highmem-96-metal by Google Cloud Platform

A bare-metal instance featuring ninety-six dedicated cores and high memory density for demanding enterprise and in-memory database workloads.

Google Cloud Platform c4a-highmem-96-metal is an x86_64 bare-metal server instance designed for memory-intensive enterprise workloads. It features 96 dedicated vCPUs and 768.0 GB of system memory, establishing a high memory-to-core ratio of 8.0 GB per vCPU. The instance does not include local storage or graphics processing units, meaning storage requirements must be met via network-attached options. By providing direct, non-virtualized access to physical hardware, this bare-metal configuration eliminates hypervisor overhead, making it highly efficient for resource-dense deployments. The server is suited for large-scale in-memory databases, enterprise applications, and memory-heavy data processing pipelines that require dedicated CPU and memory resources.
