    Server Description

    A dedicated four-core Intel Xeon virtual machine offering balanced memory and local storage for stable general-purpose workloads.

    General Purpose

    Microsoft Azure DC4s_v2 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the DCSv2 family, powered by a dedicated Intel Xeon E-2288G processor with 4 physical cores and 4 vCPUs running at 3.7 GHz. It features 16.0 GB of RAM and 205 GB of local storage with Premium Storage capabilities. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this x86_64 server delivers balanced performance, characterized by strong single-threaded gzip compression and Passmark memory scores, alongside average multi-core compute and database operation metrics. However, it exhibits weaker uncached large-block memory bandwidth and encryption speeds. Qualitatively, its dedicated CPU allocation offers reliable resource density for steady-state workloads. The DC4s_v2 is best suited for general-purpose applications, static web serving, software compilation, and moderate database tasks.

    Workload Profiles

    0.489Score
    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.
