Expanding Epic on Amazon Web Services: New database sizing enables larger healthcare deployments
Amazon Web Services (Amazon Web Services), in collaboration with Epic, is announcing another increase in Epic on Amazon Web Services customer database sizing, measured in global references per second (GRefs/s).
Epic’s Chronicles Operational Database (ODB) can now be sized to 105 million GRefs/s on Amazon Web Services. This is achieved on an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) U7ib-6tb.112xlarge instance combined with Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) io2 Block Express volumes, all within a horizontally scaled (ECP) ODB architecture. This announcement sets a new bar for public cloud sizing using native cloud services, and represents a 31% increase in ECP sizing since our previous update in May 2024. Amazon Web Services’ global infrastructure design also provides at least 3 Availability Zones in every Amazon Web Services Region, allowing for highly available infrastructure deployment to support Epic system resiliency.
The U7ib instances are powered by 4th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors (Sapphire Rapids) supporting up to 448 vCPUs are built on the Amazon Web Services Nitro System. The Nitro System is a lightweight hypervisor that provides improved compute and networking performance for EC2 instances. Nitro enables the delivery of efficient and flexible cloud services with enhanced security, isolated multi-tenancy, private networking, and fast local storage.
io2 Block Express is the next generation of EBS storage server architecture. It has been built for the purpose of meeting the performance requirements of I/O intensive applications. When attached to Nitro System-based EC2 instances, io2 Block Express provides sub-millisecond latency, providing faster and more consistent performance for your applications.
To learn more or request access to U7ib instance, contact your Amazon Web Services sales representative. To learn how to migrate your workloads to Amazon Web Services Intel-based instances, see the Amazon Web Services Intel Getting Started Guide.
