AWS Europe (Spain) Region Adds High Performance Storage Optimized I7i Instances

Amazon Web Services (AWS) announces the availability of high performance Storage Optimized Amazon EC2 I7i instances in the AWS Europe (Spain) region. These instances are powered by 5th generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors with an all-core turbo frequency of 3.2 GHz, offering 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. These instances are ideal for I/O intensive and latency-sensitive workloads that demand very high random IOPS performance with real-time latency to access 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.
