    Server Description

    A memory-optimized x86_64 server featuring high-capacity local storage and strong memory bandwidth for database and enterprise workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure E32bds_v5 is an x86_64 memory-optimized server from the EBDSv5 family, powered by a dedicated 2.8 GHz Intel Xeon 8370C processor. It features 32 vCPUs, 256.0 GB of RAM, and 1229 GB of local storage with Premium Storage capabilities. Operating under the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, the server delivers strong memory performance, as evidenced by a PassMark memory score in the top 25% and a large-block read bandwidth of 151.75 GB/sec. Compute benchmarks, including a PassMark CPU score of 36,975.23, generally fall into the average tier. While highly capable for database operations, Redis caching, and small-scale LLM inference, the lack of GPU acceleration results in weak performance for large-scale 70B parameter model processing. This server is designed for memory-intensive enterprise applications, relational databases, and high-throughput web serving.

    Workload Profiles

    1.84Score
    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.
