    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual server featuring dedicated Intel cores and high memory density for parallelized, memory-intensive database and caching workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    OVHcloud r2-240 is a memory-optimized KVM virtual server configured with 16 dedicated physical cores on an x86_64 Intel Haswell architecture running at 2.2 GHz. Lacking hyperthreading, it pairs its 16 vCPUs with 240.0 GB of RAM, yielding a high resource density of 15.0 GB per core. The hardware profile is completed by a bundled 400 GB local SSD and a 10 Gbps baseline network. Benchmark data shows weak single-core CPU and large-block memory bandwidth performance, but average multi-core CPU, database operations, and Redis throughput. This makes the instance qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-bound workloads that do not require high single-threaded compute power. It is well-suited for database hosting, in-memory caching, and general-purpose multi-threaded backend applications.

    Workload Profiles

    0.511Score
    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.
