We are delighted to announce the immediate availability of four Amazon EC2 instance types – High Storage (HS1), High I/O (HI1), Cluster Compute (CC2), and High Memory Cluster (CR1) in Asia Pacific (Tokyo).
The four additional EC2 instance types available in Asia Pacific (Tokyo) are:
- HS1 instances are optimized for customers whose applications require high sequential read and write performance over very large data sets. HS1 instances provide customers with 16 virtual CPUs (vCPUs), 117 GiB of RAM, and 48 Terabytes of storage across 24 hard disk drives, delivering over 2.4 Gigabytes per second of sequential I/O performance.
- HI1 instances are optimized for customers whose applications require high random I/O performance. HI1 instances provide customers with 16 virtual CPUs (vCPUs), 60.5 GiB of RAM, and 2 Terabytes of SSD-backed storage capable of delivering over 120,000 random read IOPS.
- CC2 instances are optimized for customers whose applications require high CPU and network performance. CC2 instances provide customers with dual 2.6 GHz Intel Xeon E5-2670 processors, and 60.5 GiB of RAM.
- CR1 instances are optimized for customers whose applications require memory capacity, in addition to high CPU and network performance. CR1 instances provide customers with dual 2.6 GHz Intel Xeon E5-2670 processors with NUMA support, and 244 GiB of RAM.
HS1, HI1, CC2, and CR1 instances can be launched into cluster placement groups, enabling low latency, 10 gigabits per second, inter-node network performance.
Amazon EC2 CC2, CR1, HS1 and HI1 instances are now available in US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), EU West (Ireland), and Asia Pacific (Tokyo) with additional regions coming soon. To learn more visit the Amazon EC2 instance type page.
