    Server Description

    A high-core general-purpose instance featuring massive local NVMe storage and top-tier multi-threaded performance for demanding database and enterprise workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D128ds_v6 is a high-capacity, general-purpose virtual machine powered by an Intel Xeon 8573C processor with 128 dedicated vCPUs and 512.0 GB of RAM. Operating at 4.2 GHz, this instance features a 260 MB L3 cache and is backed by 7559 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. Benchmark data highlights its exceptional multi-threaded capabilities, with top-tier results in PassMark CPU testing, Redis SET operations at 156.93 million operations per second, and static web serving throughput of 171.91 GB/sec. While single-core performance is average, its massive memory bandwidth and high-density local storage offer excellent qualitative cost efficiency for resource-intensive parallel workloads. The D128ds_v6 is recommended for large-scale database hosting, multi-threaded software compilation, high-throughput web serving, and enterprise-level data processing.

    Workload Profiles

    6.6Score
    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.
