By

AWS is announcing the general availability of two new Amazon EC2 High Memory U7i instances with 6TiB and 8TiB of memory. U7i-6tb and U7i-8tb are powered by 4th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors and offer 448 vCPUs, delivering up to 35% better performance and up to 15% better price performance versus comparable AWS EC2 High Memory U-1 instances. These instances extend the U7i instance family, providing customers greater flexibility to select the right instance for the right workload. U7i instances are ideal to run large in-memory databases such as SAP HANA, Oracle, and SQL Server.

U7i instances are built on the AWS Nitro system, a collection of AWS designed hardware and lightweight Nitro hypervisor which delivers practically all of the compute and memory resources of the host hardware to your instances. This frees up additional memory for your workloads which boosts performance and lowers the $/GiB memory costs.

These instances are certified by SAP for running SAP S/4HANA, SAP BW/4HANA, Business Suite on HANA, Data Mart Solutions on HANA, and Business Warehouse on HANA in production environments. For details, see the SAP HANA Hardware Directory .

These new instances are available in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), and Asia Pacific (Seoul). Customers can use these instances with On Demand and Savings Plan purchase options. To learn more, visit the U7i instances page .
