AWS announces the general availability of Amazon EC2 m7i.metal-24xl instance for VMware Cloud on AWS. These instances can be paired with Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP to store data for the compute instance. With this new offering, customers can now choose among three instance types for VMware Cloud on AWS: i3en.metal, i4i.metal and m7i.metal-24xl.
Powered by custom 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors, the m7i.metal-24xl instance is ideal for customers with compute-intensive workloads. It also offers accelerated performance with the Advanced Matrix Extensions (Intel® AMX) accelerator, well-suited for deep learning (DL) inference and training workloads, with up to 48 physical cores and 348GiB of memory. As a diskless instance, customers can choose their storage and compute options independently. For customers with use cases such as disaster recovery, backup infrastructure, compute intensive, and AI / ML applications, the m7i instances can be used with FSx for ONTAP for a complete compute and storage solution.
VMware Cloud on AWS customers can leverage the m7i.metal-24xl instance in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Europe (Ireland) Europe (Stockholm).
