      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring high RAM density and dedicated Intel Xeon processors for demanding database and caching workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure E20s_v5 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the ESv5 family, featuring 20 dedicated vCPUs and 160.0 GB of RAM. Powered by an Intel Xeon 8370C processor running at 2.8 GHz, this x86_64 instance provides a high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 8.0 GB per core. It does not include local storage or GPUs, relying instead on remote Premium Storage. Benchmark data shows solid mid-range performance, with a PassMark CPU score of 25434.63, a Redis SET throughput of 19.46 million operations per second, and a PassMark database score of 9828.91. The instance is highly suitable for memory-intensive workloads such as relational databases, in-memory caching, and enterprise applications where high memory density is required but local ephemeral storage is not necessary.

      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.
