New – Amazon EC2 R6i Memory-Optimized Instances Powered by the Latest Generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors
In August, we introduced the general-purpose Amazon EC2 M6i instances powered by the latest generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors (code-named Ice Lake) with an all-core turbo frequency of 3.5 GHz. Compute-optimized EC2 C6i instances were also made available last month. Today, I am happy to share that we are expanding our sixth-generation x86-based offerings to include memory-optimized Amazon EC2 R6i instances. Here’s a quick recap of the advantages of the new R6i instances compared to R5 instances: A larger instance size (r6i.32xlarge) with 128 vCPUs and 1,024 GiB of memory that makes it easier and more cost-efficient to consolidate workloads and scale up applications Up to 15 percent improvement in compute price/performance Up to 20 percent higher memory bandwidth Up…
Scalable, Cost-Effective Disaster Recovery in the Cloud
Should disaster strike, business continuity can require more than just periodic data backups. A full recovery that meets the business’s recovery time objectives (RTOs) must also include the infrastructure, operating systems, applications, and configurations used to process their data. The growing threats of ransomware highlight the need to be able to perform a full point-in-time recovery. For businesses affected by a ransomware attack, restoration of data from an old, possibly manual, backup will not be sufficient. Previously, businesses have elected to provision separate, physical disaster recovery (DR) infrastructure. However, customers tell us this can be both space- and cost-prohibitive, involving capital expenditure on hardware and facilities that remain idle until called upon. The infrastructure also incurs overhead in terms of…
Meet the latest AWS Heroes – November 2021
It is an exciting time of year, with AWS re:Invent right around the corner. As we reflect back on 2021, we continue to be impressed by the way AWS communities support one-another across intersecting journeys to expand technical skills. At the center of these communities are impactful leaders who go above and beyond to create educational content and facilitate peer-to-peer knowledge sharing across multiple channels. These passionate builders are called AWS Heroes, and we are humbled by the amazing activities they support on behalf of their communities. Today we are excited to introduce the latest cohort of AWS Heroes: Juan Pan – Beijing, China Data Hero Juan Pan (Trista) is the CTO and Co-Founder of SphereEx. She serves as an…
