AWS announces the availability of bmn-cx3a instances on second-generation AWS Outposts racks. Bmn-cx3a instances feature 5th Gen AMD EPYC processors with a maximum frequency of 4.1 GHz and NVIDIA ConnectX-7 (CX7) network interface cards, delivering up to 800 Gbps of bare-metal accelerated network bandwidth operating at near line rate.

Bmn-cx3a instances offer up to 256 cores and 1.5 TB of memory across two sizes, bmn-cx3a.metal-32xl and bmn-cx3a.metal-64xl, with 2x 8 TB NVMe SSD storage. With native Layer 2 (L2) multicast and hardware Precision Time Protocol (PTP) support, bmn-cx3a instances are designed for high-throughput workloads such as real-time market data ingestion and distribution, market and risk analytics, telecom 5G core network applications, and media distribution.
