Server Description
A storage-optimized virtual machine featuring sixteen dedicated cores, substantial memory, and over seven terabytes of local NVMe SSD capacity.
Google Cloud Platform z4d-highmem-16-highlssd is a storage-optimized virtual machine within the z4d family. It features 16 dedicated x86_64 vCPUs, 126.0 GB of system memory (7.88 GB per core), and 7516 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. This instance does not include any GPUs or complimentary public IPv4 addresses. The high density of local NVMe storage relative to compute resources makes this configuration highly efficient for workloads requiring substantial local read/write capacity without the latency of network-attached storage. However, the local nature of the SSD storage means data persistence is tied directly to the instance lifecycle. This server is designed for database hosting, caching layers, and storage-intensive applications that benefit from a high storage-to-vCPU ratio.
