Amazon Web Services (AWS) announces the availability of high performance Storage Optimized Amazon EC2 I7i instances in the AWS GovCloud (US-East, US-West) Regions. Powered by 5th generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors with an all-core turbo frequency of 3.2 GHz, these new instances deliver up to 23% better compute performance and more than 10% better price performance over previous generation I4i instances. Powered by 3rd generation AWS Nitro SSDs, I7i instances offer up to 45TB of NVMe storage with up to 50% better real-time storage performance, up to 50% lower storage I/O latency, and up to 60% lower storage I/O latency variability compared to I4i instances.
I7i instances offer the best compute and storage performance for x86-based storage optimized instances in Amazon EC2, ideal for I/O intensive and latency-sensitive workloads that demand very high random IOPS performance with real-time latency to access the small to medium size datasets (multi-TBs). Additionally, torn write prevention feature support up to 16KB block sizes, enabling customers to eliminate database performance bottlenecks.
I7i instances are available in eleven sizes – nine virtual sizes up to 48xlarge and two bare metal sizes – delivering up to 100Gbps of network bandwidth and 60Gbps of Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) bandwidth.
