Storage optimized for high transaction workloads

Why Amazon EC2 I3 Instances?

Amazon EC2 I3 instances are the next generation of Storage Optimized instances for high transaction, low latency workloads. I3 instances offer the best price per I/O performance for workloads such as NoSQL databases, in-memory databases, data warehousing, Elasticsearch, and analytics workloads.

High performance storage

Amazon EC2 I3 instances include Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) SSD-based instance storage optimized for low latency, very high random I/O performance, and high sequential read throughput, and deliver high IOPS at a low cost. I3 instances offer up to 25 Gbps of network bandwidth and up to 14 Gbps of dedicated bandwidth to Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS).
