    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized server offering high RAM density and dedicated cores for database hosting and caching workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    OVHcloud r2-240 is a memory-optimized server featuring 16 dedicated Intel physical cores on an x86_64 architecture running at 2.2 GHz. It is configured with 240 GB of RAM, offering a high resource density of 15 GB per core, alongside a bundled 400 GB local SSD and 10 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. The processor includes 16 MB of L3 cache and supports AVX and AES instructions. Benchmark data indicates a clear tradeoff: single-core CPU execution and uncached memory bandwidth are weak to poor, whereas multi-core scaling, database operations, and Redis throughput reach average tiers. This hardware profile makes the server qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-heavy workloads that do not demand high single-threaded compute. It is best suited for database hosting, caching layers, and memory-bound applications.

    Workload Profiles

    0.515Score
    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.
