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,
