Amazon Web Services announces Amazon EC2 U7i, next-generation High Memory instances. U7i instances offer up to 32TiB of DDR5 memory enabling customers to scale transaction processing throughput in a fast-growing data environment. U7i instances are part of AWS 7th generation and are powered by custom fourth generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors (Sapphire Rapids) delivering up to 125% more compute performance over existing U-1 instances. U7i instance preview is offered in three sizes and support up to 896 vCPUs, the most vCPUs in the AWS cloud. They deliver Elastic Block Storage (EBS) of up to 100Gbps which is more than 2.5x the EBS bandwidth of existing U-1 instances allowing customers to load data faster into memory and improve their backup speed. U7i instances support EBS io2 Block Express volumes which deliver the best EBS performance on Amazon EC2\. U7i instances deliver up to 100Gbps of network bandwidth and support ENA Express. U7i instances are ideal for customers using mission-critical in-memory databases such as SAP HANA, Oracle, or SQL Server. U7i instances are available in 3 sizes during this preview, u7in-16tb.224xlarge, u7in-24tb.224xlarge, and u7in-32tb.224xlarge.
