Linode's High Memory instances are specialized compute resources designed for memory-intensive applications. These instances provide a cost-effective way to run workloads that require substantial amounts of RAM without the need for additional storage or vCPUs. By prioritizing system memory, High Memory instances offer optimal performance for in-memory databases, caching systems, and enterprise-level database solutions.

Key Features

Dedicated Resources High-memory instances provide 100% dedicated CPU resources without any resource contention.

• Exclusive vCPU threads assigned to cores and SMT threads on the hypervisor
• No sharing of resources, ensuring consistent performance

Optimized for Memory-Intensive Workloads These instances are specifically tuned for applications that require large amounts of RAM.

• Perfect for in-memory databases and caches
• Ideal for high-performance querying and data processing

Flexible Scaling Linode offers a range of high-memory plans to suit various needs and budgets.

• Plans ranging from 24 GB to 300 GB of RAM
• Corresponding CPU and storage allocations to match memory capacity

Benefits
