Retired instance types | Tair (Redis OSS-compatible) instances of specific specification types are no longer available. If you have purchased one or more of these instances, you can continue to use them. For information about the specifications of these instances, such as the maximum number of connections, maximum bandwidth, and QPS reference value, see Retired instance types. |
Tair (Enterprise Edition)
References for instance specifications | Description |
DRAM-based instances use a multi-threaded model. A DRAM-based instance provides approximately three times the read and write performance of a Redis Open-Source Edition instance that has the same specifications.
DRAM-based instances support the classic (local disk-based) deployment mode.

Persistent memory-optimized instances do not use disks to implement data persistence. A persistent memory-optimized instance provides almost the same performance as a Redis Open-Source Edition instance in terms of throughput and latency while persisting each operation. A standard persistent memory-optimized instance can offer up to 30% cost reduction compared with a Redis Open-Source Edition instance.

ESSD/SSD-based instances store all data in disks and use memory to accelerate caching. ESSD/SSD-based instances reduce up to 85% of costs compared with Redis Open-Source Edition instances, and deliver approximately 60% of the performance of Redis Open-Source Edition instances. ESSD/SSD-based instances are suitable for warm and cold data storage scenarios that require compatibility with open source Redis, large capacity, and high access performance. Each instance provides up to 32,768 GB (128 GB × 256 shards) of memory and has a standard storage capacity of up to 327,680 GB (1,280 GB × 256 shards). |
FAQ
Do I need to reserve memory for snapshots when I select specifications?
No. Redis Open-Source Edition and Tair (Enterprise Edition) are sold in the form of instances. You do not need to reserve memory for snapshots. The memory capacity of each specification type is the maximum memory that is available to you. The memory capacity includes the memory occupied by user data, the static memory consumed by your instance, and the memory occupied by network connections.
Each specification type has a maximum QPS value. What happens if the QPS of an instance exceeds the maximum value?
This may cause an accumulation of requests. If the QPS reference value is exceeded for an extended period of time, we recommend that you choose higher specifications. For more information, see Change the configurations of an instance.
Why is a specific specification type unavailable?
The specification type may be phased out. For more information, see Retired instance types.
How do I check the specifications of an instance by using the instance class?
You can enter the instance class in the search box in the upper part of an Alibaba Cloud document to search for the specifications.
How do I test the performance of Tair instances?
You can test the performance of Tair instances by using the methods that are described in the performance whitepaper. For more information, see Performance whitepaper.
