With Dense Compute nodes, you can now create faster, lower-cost data warehouses with Amazon Redshift.
Henceforth official, this new milestone for Amazon Web Services, Inc.
(AWS), demonstrates its willingness to improve the access to its services by announcing
downward trend of the cost of a single node by as much as 56 percent while
increasing the ratio of CPU, RAM, and I/O to storage to offer even higher
performance.
Dense Compute nodes, a new SSD-based node can enable users to create faster,
lower-cost data warehouses with Amazon Redshift.
You can now start with 160GB datasets for $0.10/hour, and then easily scale
to a cluster with thousands of cores, terabytes of RAM, and hundreds of
terabytes of SSD
storage as their needs grow.
Connectikpeople.co observes that:
Amazon Redshift users now have two node choices: Dense Compute nodes and
Dense Storage nodes. Dense Compute nodes for Amazon Redshift aim to be ideal
for users who have less than 500GB of data in their data warehouse or for users
with more than 500GB of data whose primary focus is performance.
With Dense Compute nodes, users can scale up to hundreds of terabytes,
giving them the highest ratio of CPU, memory, and I/O to storage.
If unfamiliar, we recalls that, Amazon Redshift can dramatically lowers the
cost of production and development by enabling customers to provision clusters
in minutes, shut them down when not in use, and easily recreate them when they
are needed again.
You can launch Amazon Redshift clusters using the AWS Management Console or
the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI). Dense Compute and Dense Storage nodes for
Amazon Redshift are available in the US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon),
EU (Ireland), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), and Asia Pacific
(Tokyo) Regions. http://aws.amazon.com/redshift.
