- AWS presents the R8I servers set for workloads of heavy business cloud
- Databases Targets of Xeon Custo Cups of Intel and Massive Cloud Data Tasks
- The memory bandwidth defines the new servers supplied by AWS for demanding applications
Intel has received positive news after Amazon’s web services (AWS) have confirmed that it deploys new virtual server options built on personalized versions of the Intel Xeon 6 processors.
These new options, known as R8i and R8i-Flex, will offer AWS customers additional choices when renting computer feed via the cloud.
For Intel, this marks a rare victory at a time when rivals such as AMD and ARM processors have captured more market.
What R8i and R8i-Flex really bring
AWS said R8i and R8i-Flex take care of the memory “DDR5 7200MT / S” and can execute “up to 3.9 GHz Turbo Frequency”.
The R8i family extends over a wide range, going from two to 384 VCPUs, corresponding to the capacity of double art servers fueled by the Xeon 6 to 96 Intel cores, because AWS defines a VCPU as a wire of a nucleus.
Although WS has not revealed more details on what makes these Xeons personalized distinct, the accent put on the bandwidth of memory seems to be the determining factor of these deployments.
AWS markets new instances for heavy use cases of memory, including the SQL and NOSQL databases, covers in memory such as Memcached and Redis, SAP Hana deployments and data frames like Apache Hadoop and Apache Spark.
Customers also have the possibility of adjusting how the bandwidth is distributed between network functions and elastic connections of the Amazon elastic block, which suggests AWS can provide measurable improvements to the performance of the database.
This positioning reflects the way in which cloud accommodation and cloud storage are increasingly dependent on the optimized equipment to manage large -scale workloads, in particular those related to the analysis and planning of business resources.
Hyperscal suppliers such as Oracle previously promoted unique Xeon configurations with additional nuclei or slightly faster clock speeds, while WS itself highlighted the previous cycles of tailor-made intel processor.
The arrival of these new Xeons is therefore part of an established model, but always shows that Intel remains relevant for large -scale suppliers.
Improvements of the bandwidth of memory, although they are not a complete architectural overhaul, are sufficient for AWS to publicly promote fleas as competitive in its portfolio.
For Intel, this order signals the continuous dependence of a crucial customer at a time when alternative architectures such as the Epyc and ARM conceptions of AMD gain ground.
For AWS, it widens the range of performance options available for customers whose workloads require high memory speed and stable performance on large clusters.
At a time when AI tools and demand for data processing, Intel does not lose completely; It always occupies a place in the heart of the cloud infrastructure.
