M7n ECSs use the third-generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors to provide enhanced computing, security, and stability. Each M7n ECS can have a maximum number of 96 vCPUs and a memory speed of 3,200 MHz, and provide a secure and trusted cloud environment for memory-intensive computing applications.
M4 ECSs use the second-generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors with technologies optimized to offer powerful and stable computing performance. Using 25GE high-speed intelligent NICs, M4 ECSs provide a maximum memory size of 512 GiB based on DDR4 for memory-intensive applications with high requirements on network bandwidth and Packets Per Second (PPS).
M3 ECSs are developed based on the KVM virtualization platform and designed for processing large-scale data sets in the memory. They use Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, network acceleration engines, and DPDK rapid packet processing mechanism to provide higher network performance and up to 512 GiB of DDR4 memory for memory-intensive computing applications.
