- Elasticsearch achieves up to 40% higher indexing throughput on Google Axion-powered VMs.
- Performance enhancements driven by integration with Google's Titanium SSDs.
- Elastic Cloud Serverless on C4A is currently in technical preview on Google Cloud.
Elastic (ESTC, Financial), renowned for its Search AI capabilities, has announced remarkable performance improvements for Elasticsearch when operating on Google's new Arm-based CPU, Axion. The significant gain of up to 40% in indexing throughput was observed during tests on C4A VMs powered by Google Axion, as compared to earlier Google Cloud VM generations.
These performance enhancements were quantified using Elastic's macro benchmarking framework, Rally, with the elastic/logs track. Key to these improvements is the use of Google's Titanium SSDs for local storage, which enhances the capabilities of C4A virtual machines. C4A also supports Elastic Cloud Serverless, which is geared toward delivering improved efficiency for search, observability, and security solutions.
Currently available in a technical preview on Google Cloud, Elastic Cloud Serverless capitalizes on the efficiency and performance benefits offered by the Google Axion processors. The collaboration between Elastic and Google marks a significant step toward optimized, workload-specific infrastructure, particularly for enterprises leveraging Elasticsearch on Google Cloud.
