      Server Description

      A burstable, cost-efficient virtual machine with balanced compute and memory resources for variable and intermittent workloads.

      Burstable & BudgetGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure B16s_v2 is a burstable virtual machine from the Bsv2 family, built on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It features an Intel Xeon 8370C x86_64 processor running at 2.8 GHz, configured with 16 vCPUs across 8 physical cores and 64.0 GB of RAM. The server lacks local storage and dedicated GPUs but supports Premium Storage. Benchmark results place its performance in the average tier, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 9893.0 and a Passmark CPU score of 21253.65. It handles Redis SET operations at 15.86 million operations per second and static web serving at 21.75 GB/sec. Due to its burstable CPU allocation, the B16s_v2 offers a cost-effective solution for workloads with variable resource demands, such as development environments, code compilation, and light database or web serving tasks.

      Workload Profiles

      1.1Score
      Precomputed compound score for Cache Intensive workloads. A weighted average (geometric mean) of benchmark scores compared to their medians: score = ∏ (x_i / m_i)^(w_i / Σw). The score of 1.0 represents a synthetic baseline server with the median performance of each component benchmark; 0.5 means roughly half the performance; and 2.0 means twice the performance of that reference profile. Component weights: 50% Redis RPS (pipeline=1, SET), 20% Redis RPS (pipeline=16, SET), 10% PassMark Memory Mark (composite), 10% Memory bandwidth (read, 16 MB ~ L3), 10% PassMark single-thread CPU. Rationale for component selection: In-memory key-value store workload, mixing direct Redis performance metrics with memory speed and latency benchmarks, and single-core CPU performance profiles.
