Please review the HP Vertica on Amazon Web Services Guide.

 

HP Vertica supports a range of Amazon Web Services (AWS) instance types, each optimized for different purposes.

Sizing an instance involves estimating the hardware requirements for optimal HP Vertica performance in a typical scenario. Hewlett Packard recommends using its AMI with the instance type optimized for your requirements

Optimization	Type	Description
Compute	c3.4xlarge c3.8xlarge	Compute optimized instances employ high performance CPUs for calculation intensive applications.
Memory	r3.4xlarge r3.8xlarge	Memory optimized configured for memory intensive applications such as in-memory analytics, and enterprise level collaborative applications.
Storage	i2.4xlarge i2.8xlarge	Storage optimized use solid-state drives (SSD) for rapid read and write performance.
