    Server Description

    An ARM64 virtual machine delivering high memory density and dedicated physical cores for memory-intensive databases and caching workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure E16pds_v6 is an ARM64-based virtual machine from the Epdsv6 family, configured with 16 dedicated physical cores on a 3.4 GHz Microsoft Neoverse-N2 processor. It features 128.0 GB of RAM, yielding a memory-to-core ratio of 8.0 GB, alongside 945 GB of local storage. Operating under Microsoft Hyper-V, the instance delivers top-tier memory performance in Passmark testing and strong large-block memory bandwidth, alongside average multi-core compute and database execution. This server is optimized for memory-intensive workloads, database operations, and caching layers that benefit from dedicated ARM resources and local storage.

    Workload Profiles

    1.53Score
    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.
