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
OptimizationTypeDescription
Computec3.4xlarge
c3.8xlarge
Compute optimized instances employ high performance CPUs for calculation intensive applications.
Memoryr3.4xlarge
r3.8xlarge
Memory optimized configured for memory intensive applications such as in-memory analytics, and enterprise level collaborative applications.
Storagei2.4xlarge
i2.8xlarge
Storage optimized use solid-state drives (SSD) for rapid read and write performance.
