Large-Memory ECSs

Overview

Large-memory ECSs provide an even larger amount of memory than memory-optimized ECSs. They are used for applications that require a large amount of memory, rapid data switching, low latency, and capability of processing large volumes of data. Large-memory ECSs provide large memory and high computing, storage, and network performance.

Applications
Large-memory ECSs are suitable for applications that require a large amount of memory, rapid data switching, and low latency, and process large volumes of data.
Application scenarios
OLTP and OLAP scenarios

Notes

Large-memory ECSs do not support NIC hot swapping.
Affected by the memory loading speed, large-memory ECSs may take longer to start.

The primary and extension NICs of a large-memory ECS can only be used in the scenarios listed in Table 2.

**Table 2** Application scenarios of the NICs of a large-memory ECS
NIC Type	Application Scenario	Remarks
Primary NIC	Vertical layer 3 communication	N/A
Extension NIC	Horizontal layer 2 communication	To improve network performance, you can set the MTU of an extension NIC to 8888.

An ECS can have a maximum of 60 attached disks, including the system disk. For details about constraints, see Can I Attach Multiple Disks to an ECS?
For example, an E3 ECS can have one system disk and 59 data disks.
