Disk-Intensive DeHs

Overview

Disk-intensive DeHs are classified as d1 DeHs. d1 DeHs provide high-performance hardware and large-capacity hard disk drives (HDDs), so that ECSs created on such type of DeHs can efficiently and sequentially read and write ultra-large data sets stored on local storage.

Disk-intensive ECSs can be deployed on d1 DeHs.

If a DeH is faulty, the data stored in local disks cannot be completely restored. Therefore, do not store important data in local disks.

  • CPU: Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2690 v3 (30 MB Cache, 2.60 GHz)
  • Memory: 328 GB (or 335,872 MB)

SAS disks: 24 x 1800 GB

Number of vCPUs = (Number of sockets x Number of cores x Number of single-core threads - CPU overheads) x CPU overcommitment ratio

  • d1 DeHs

    vCPUs = (2 x 12 x 2 - 8) x 1 = 40
