CPU and System Topology
Server Description
A memory-dense virtual server featuring 256 GB of RAM and shared AMD EPYC processors for memory-intensive caching and database workloads.
Memory OptimizedStorage & Database
The UpCloud HIMEM-12xCPU-256GB is a memory-optimized virtual server utilizing the KVM hypervisor and x86_64 architecture. It is configured with an AMD EPYC 7542 processor offering 12 shared vCPUs at 2.0 GHz, paired with 256.0 GB of RAM and a 500 GB SSD. This configuration yields a high memory-to-core ratio of 21.33 GB per core. While single-core CPU performance is poor due to the shared CPU allocation, multi-core performance, memory bandwidth, and Redis operations perform at average levels. This server offers a cost-effective profile for memory-heavy workloads that do not demand dedicated CPU resources. It is best suited for in-memory databases, caching systems, and memory-intensive data processing.
