    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-dense virtual server featuring dedicated resources and local SSD storage, optimized for caching and database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    OVHcloud r2-120 is a memory-optimized server instance designed for memory-intensive workloads. Running on the KVM hypervisor, it features 8 dedicated x86_64 Intel cores (Haswell architecture) clocked at 2.2 GHz, 120.0 GB of RAM, a 200 GB local SSD, and a 1 Gbps network baseline. While the older CPU architecture results in poor single-core and weak multi-core benchmark performance, the instance maintains average capabilities in memory-bound operations. It achieves average performance in Passmark database tests and Redis SET operations, handling 8.58 million operations per second. The high memory-to-core ratio of 15.0 GB per core makes this server qualitatively cost-effective for memory-heavy applications that do not demand intensive compute. It is appropriate for caching layers, database hosting, and general memory-bound utility workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    0.435Score
    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.
