Google Cloud's C4N instances are a new offering designed to address network and block storage performance bottlenecks in demanding enterprise applications. Built on Google's custom Titanium offload architecture, these instances offload network and storage tasks to dedicated hardware. C4N instances provide up to 400 Gbps of network bandwidth and 95 million packets per second (MPPS), offering significant improvements over comparable Intel-based offerings. This performance makes them ideal for network-intensive applications like virtual appliances, large-scale data analytics, and AI/ML workloads. When paired with Hyperdisk Extreme, C4N delivers Compute Engine's highest block storage performance, scaling up to 25 GiB/s and 1 million IOPS. The instances are powered by 5th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors and offer predictable, high-throughput I/O performance. C4N instances improve VM-to-VM and VM-to-internet network bandwidth and packet processing. They also offer optimized I/O for smaller VM shapes and faster Google Cloud Storage transfers without add-ons. C4N instances, when combined with Hyperdisk, allow for dynamic tuning of storage performance, latency, and throughput. Early customer adoption highlights the significant performance gains and TCO benefits of C4N for various data-intensive workloads.
