Generally available: The storage-optimized Z4D machine series is generally available for Compute Engine.

Generally available: The storage-optimized Z4D machine series is generally available for Compute Engine. Powered by AMD EPYC Turin processors and Titanium offload processors, Z4D instances are purpose-built for low core usage and high storage density workloads such as:

SQL, NoSQL, and vector databases
Data analytics and data warehouses
Search
Parallel file systems for AI/ML

The Z4D machine series delivers up to 3 TB of memory and 42,000 GiB of local Titanium SSD capacity. Z4D also supports up to 400 Gbps of network bandwidth using two physical NICs. Z4D instances are available in predefined standardlssd and highlssd machine shapes.
