Large-Memory ECSs

Overview

Large-memory ECSs provide an even larger amount of memory than memory-optimized ECSs. They are used for applications that require a large amount of memory, rapid data switching, low latency, and process large volumes of data. Large-memory ECSs provide large memory and high computing, storage, and network performance.

• Applications

  Large-memory ECSs are suitable for applications that require a large amount of memory, rapid data switching, and low latency, and process large volumes of data.

• Application scenarios

  OLAP and OLTP applications with hyper-threading enabled

Notes

• Large-memory ECSs do not support NIC hot swapping.
• Specifications of large-memory ECSs can be modified only within the same flavor family.
• Affected by the memory loading speed, large-memory ECSs may take longer to start.
• Table 2 lists the OSs supported by large-memory ECSs.

• Large-memory ECSs can use ultra-high I/O EVS disks as the system disk and data disks.
• The primary and extension NICs of a large-memory ECS have specified application scenarios. For details, see Table 3.

  Table 3 Application scenarios of the NICs of a large-memory ECS

  NIC Type	Application Scenario	Remarks
  Primary NIC	Vertical layer 3 communication	N/A
  Extension NIC	Horizontal layer 2 communication	To improve network performance, you can set the MTU of an extension NIC to 8888.

• An ECS can have a maximum of 60 attached disks, including the system disk. For details about constraints, see Can I Attach Multiple Disks to an ECS?

  An example is provided as follows:

  An E3 ECS is to be created. It can have a maximum of 60 attached disks, where:

  • The number of system disks is 1.
  • The number of EVS disks is at most 59.
  

  The maximum number of disks attached to an existing large-memory ECS remains unchanged. To attach 60 disks, enable advanced disk. For details, see Enabling Advanced Disk.
