Amazon Web Services (AWS), in collaboration with Epic, is announcing another increase in Epic on AWS customer database sizing, measured in global references per second (GRefs/s).
Epic’s Chronicles Operational Database (ODB) can now be sized to 65 million GRefs/s in AWS. This is achieved on an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) R7an.48xlarge 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. For customers running Epic’s Chronicles ODB in single server mode (SMP), AWS delivered a sizing increase up to 38M GRefs/s. This represents a 35% increase in SMP and an 18% increase in ECP sizing since our previous update in October 2023. In total, AWS has increased our ECP sizing by 150% over the past 12 months. AWS’ global infrastructure design also provides at least 3 Availability Zones in every AWS Region, allowing for highly available infrastructure deployment to support Epic system resiliency.
