The new OCI Compute E5 instances offer more performance per core and better memory bandwidth.
Oracle is upgrading its OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure) computing instances from E4 to E5. The main reason is the integration of the new 4th generation AMD Epyc chips. In OCI you can choose from three different OCI instances: Standard, HPC and Dense-IO.
For example, OCI Compute E5 Standard instances are configurable for users as web and application servers, back-end servers for enterprise applications, or application development environments. Compared to the previous E4 instances, the new instances are up to 33 percent faster per core while offering half the memory bandwidth.
Thanks to the new AMD Epyc chips, bare metal instances can now configure half as many cores.
The OCI Compute E5 HPC instances, on the other hand, focus on computing power for complex computing problems and scientific challenges. By configuring a network cluster, you as an organization can combine multiple HPC instances, for example to train AI models or analyze genetic sequences. Think of this solution as a supercomputer in the Oracle cloud.
According to Oracle, the new E5 HPC instances offer price-performance savings of up to 40 percent.
Finally, the E5 Dense IO instances are focused on large databases, big data workloads, and applications that leverage fast local storage. Compared to previous E4 instances, the new systems offer half the storage capacity and 63 percent better storage performance.
Each of the above instances includes simple options within OCI to quickly configure workloads around existing applications from Oracle, Microsoft and SAP, as well as various external ISVs such as Kubernetes and VMware environments.
The OCI Compute E5 instances support multiple operating systems including Oracle Linux, Windows, Red Hat and other installable images from the Oracle Marketplace. If you want to test the new environment early, you can register here. General availability is planned for the second half of 2023.
