Server Description
An x86_64 virtual machine featuring eight dedicated virtual cores and sixty-four gigabytes of memory for memory-intensive workloads.
Google Cloud Platform n4a-highmem-8 is an x86_64 architecture virtual machine within the n4a server family, configured with 8 dedicated vCPUs and 64.0 GB of system memory. This configuration provides a high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 8.0 GB of RAM per core, positioning it as a memory-optimized resource. The instance does not include local storage or GPU accelerators, requiring network-attached storage for data persistence. The dedicated CPU allocation ensures stable performance for memory-bound workloads. Qualitatively, this server offers a cost-efficient profile for applications requiring significant memory capacity without the need for high compute core counts. It is suitable for workloads such as in-memory databases, caching systems, and medium-scale data processing tasks.
