Introduced in preview kind at re:Invent 2023, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) U7i cases with as much as 32 TiB of DDR5 reminiscence and 896 vCPUs are actually out there. Powered by customized fourth era Intel Xeon Scalable Processors (Sapphire Rapids), these excessive reminiscence cases are designed to assist giant, in-memory databases together with SAP HANA, Oracle, and SQL Server. Listed below are the specs:
Occasion Title | vCPUs |
Reminiscence (DDR5) |
EBS Bandwidth |
Community Bandwidth |
u7i-12tb.224xlarge | 896 | 12,288 GiB | 60 Gbps | 100 Gbps |
u7in-16tb.224xlarge | 896 | 16,384 GiB | 100 Gbps | 200 Gbps |
u7in-24tb.224xlarge | 896 | 24,576 GiB | 100 Gbps | 200 Gbps |
u7in-32tb.224xlarge | 896 | 32,768 GiB | 100 Gbps | 200 Gbps |
The brand new cases ship the most effective compute worth efficiency for giant in-memory workloads, and supply the best reminiscence and compute energy of any SAP-certified digital occasion from a number one cloud supplier.
Due to AWS Nitro System, all the reminiscence on the occasion is out there to be used. For instance, right here’s the 32 TiB occasion:
Compared to the earlier era of EC2 Excessive Reminiscence cases, the U7i cases supply greater than 135% of the compute efficiency, as much as 115% extra reminiscence efficiency, and a pair of.5x the EBS bandwidth. This elevated bandwidth lets you switch 30 TiB of knowledge from EBS into reminiscence in an hour or much less, making information masses and cache refreshes sooner than ever earlier than. The cases additionally assist ENA Categorical with 25 Gbps of bandwidth per movement, and supply an 85% enchancment in P99.9 latency between cases.
Every U7i occasion helps attachment of as much as 128 Basic Function (gp2 and gp3) or Provisioned IOPS (io1 and io2 Block Categorical) EBS volumes. Every io2 Block Categorical quantity will be as massive as 64 TiB and may ship as much as 256K IOPS at as much as 32 Gbps, making them an important match for U7i cases.
The cases are SAP licensed to run Enterprise Suite on HANA, Enterprise Suite S/4HANA, Enterprise Warehouse on HANA (BW), and SAP BW/4HANA in manufacturing environments. To be taught extra, seek the advice of the Licensed and Supported SAP HANA {Hardware} and the SAP HANA to AWS Migration Information. Additionally, ensure to check out the AWS Launch Wizard for SAP.
Issues to Know
Listed below are a few issues that you need to find out about these new cases:
Areas – U7i cases can be found within the US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), and Asia Pacific (Seoul, Sydney) AWS Areas.
Working Techniques – Supported working techniques embrace Amazon Linux, Pink Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, Ubuntu, and Home windows Server.
Bigger Cases – We’re additionally engaged on providing even bigger occasion later this 12 months with elevated compute to satisfy our buyer wants.
