October 3, 2024 | By Mitch O’Dea

NetApp is pleased to announce the general availability of AWS Graviton3 node types for Managed Cadence® Workflow on the Instaclustr Managed Platform. 

Customers familiar with the performance and cost benefits of AWS Graviton from other services on the Instaclustr Platform will now experience these advantages with their Cadence deployments. The addition of AWS Graviton means that NetApp customers utilising the Instaclustr Platform can now optimize their Cadence deployments for better performance and cost savings. 

Key Advantages: 

• Improved Performance: AWS Graviton3 nodes provide up to twice the performance when compared to traditional x86 node types, ensuring Cadence workflows run more efficiently. Be sure to keep an eye out for our upcoming benchmarking blog exploring these impressive performance gains!  

• Cost Savings: Benefit from an improved price-performance ratio, reducing overall infrastructure costs without compromising on performance or reliability.

• Easy Migration: Transitioning to AWS Graviton nodes is a seamless process that can be completed with zero downtime, ensuring minimal disruption to your Cadence clusters and dependencies. 

• Compliance and Security: Instaclustr continues to uphold SOC 2 and PCI compliance, guaranteeing that your clusters on AWS Graviton will maintain the high security and reliability standards you expect from our platform.

Existing Instaclustr customers can contact our Cadence support engineers via usual channels to discuss the benefits and transition process to AWS Graviton nodes or migrate to the new sizes directly via the console, API, and terraform provider.  

New customers are invited to reach out to our sales team for a comprehensive overview of the new features and assistance with any inquiries.
