    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A storage-optimized server offering high-capacity local NVMe SSD storage and dedicated multi-core processing for data-intensive workloads.

    Storage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    The OVHcloud i1-90 is a storage-optimized server utilizing the KVM hypervisor and x86_64 Intel Haswell architecture. It is equipped with 16 dedicated physical cores running at 2.2 GHz, 90.0 GB of RAM, and 3850 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. Network connectivity is established at a 2 Gbps baseline. Performance benchmarks indicate a clear tradeoff: single-core performance is weak, ranking in the bottom 10% for single-threaded tasks, whereas multi-core execution, memory bandwidth, and database operations achieve average tier results. This hardware profile delivers qualitative cost efficiency for storage-dense deployments that require substantial local capacity without demanding high single-core CPU performance. The i1-90 is suited for database hosting, static web serving, and storage-intensive applications.

    Workload Profiles

    0.95Score
    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.
