Amazon Web Service, new High Memory Cluster Eight Extra Large (cr1.8xlarge) instance type.


This new infrastructure is designed to host applications that have a huge need for compute power, memory, and network bandwidth such as in-memory databases, graph databases, and memory intensive HPC.

We have some majors  specs like:

  • Two Intel E5-2670 processors running at 2.6 GHz with Intel Turbo Boost and NUMA (Non-Uniform Memory Access) support.
  • 244 GiB of RAM.
  • Two 120 GB SSD for instance storage.
  • 10 Gigabit networking with support for Cluster Placement Groups.
  • HVM virtualization only.
  • Support for EBS-backed AMIs only.

In fact you can use it to run applications that need lots of memory and that can take advantage of 32 Hyperthreaded cores (16 per processor).
