Compute Engine M4N VMs
As enterprise organizations scale mission-critical applications, storage I/O and memory access can become severe operational bottlenecks. Whether its Oracle databases, in-memory databases like SAP HANA, or high-throughput SQL Server clusters, EHR systems, and real-time big data analytics, memory-bound databases often force enterprises to over-provision compute cores (vCPUs) to get the RAM capacity and storage bandwidth they need, driving up costly third-party software licensing fees.
Today, we are thrilled to announce the general availability of the M4N machine series in Google Compute Engine, purpose-built for I/O intensive, high-memory workloads, the second offering in our network- and block-storage optimized VM family. Compared to similar offerings from other hyperscalers M4N provides the highest per-core IOPS and throughput for high-memory instances, and over 20% TCO reduction for Oracle databases.
M4N is also the industry’s firstinstance of network and block storage optimized with higher memory ratios (up to 26:1) and size (6TB). Powered by...
