      Server Description

      A balanced virtual machine offering dedicated Intel Xeon processing and proportional memory for standard enterprise applications and web serving.

      General Purpose

      Microsoft Azure D8_v4 is a general-purpose virtual machine instance from the Dv4 family, powered by an Intel Xeon 8272CL processor running at 2.6 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture, it provides 8 dedicated vCPUs and 32.0 GB of RAM, maintaining a balanced 1:4 vCPU-to-memory ratio. The instance does not feature local storage or integrated GPUs, requiring network-attached storage for data persistence. Performance benchmarks place the D8_v4 in the average tier for most tasks, including Geekbench multi-core tests, static web serving at 7.21 GB/sec, and Redis SET operations at 7.16 million operations per second. It shows weaker performance in multi-threaded decompression and physics simulations. This resource configuration is qualitatively cost-efficient for standard enterprise workloads, making it well-suited for general-purpose web applications, software compilation, and moderate database operations.

      Workload Profiles

      0.46Score
      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.
