    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual server featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and local SSD storage for demanding database and enterprise applications.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure E20ds_v5 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the EDSv5 family, running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It features 20 dedicated vCPUs powered by an Intel Xeon 8370C processor clocked at 2.8 GHz, paired with 160.0 GB of system memory and 768 GB of local SSD storage. The hardware configuration delivers a high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 8.0 GB per core, supported by a strong Passmark memory score in the top 25%. While the server exhibits average performance across standard compute benchmarks and struggles with large-scale LLM inference, it excels in memory-intensive operations, database tasks, and caching. The qualitative cost-efficiency of its high-density memory and local storage makes it highly suitable for hosting relational databases, enterprise applications, and memory-bound data processing workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    1.3Score
    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.
