Benchmarking shows Elasticsearch runs up to 40% faster on Google Axion Processor C4A

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Elastic (NYSE: ESTC), the Search AI Company, announced Elasticsearch runs with up to 40% higher indexing throughput on C4A VMs, powered by Google Axion, Google’s first custom Arm-based CPU, compared to previous generations of VMs on Google Cloud. Elastic used a macro benchmarking framework for Rally with the elastic/logs track to determine the maximum indexing performance on Google Axion-powered VMs. C4A also powers Elastic Cloud Serverless.

“Elastic is driving innovation and cost-efficiency by enabling customers to leverage our Search AI-powered search, observability, and security solutions on Arm-based architecture,” said Uri Cohen, vice president of product management at Elastic. “Google Axion processors augment Elastic’s best-in-class capabilities, enabling users to index data more efficiently and improve search performance.”

“We're excited to bring the efficiency and performance benefits of our custom Google Axion processors to Elastic Cloud Serverless,” said Salil Suri, director of product management, Google Compute Engine. “Powered by our new Titanium SSDs local storage, our first Axion VM family - C4A - provides Elastic users up to 40% higher indexing throughput, underscoring our commitment to continuously deliver workload-optimized infrastructure to power Elasticsearch on Google Cloud."
