Server Description
A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring a high memory-to-core ratio for memory-intensive workloads with modest processing requirements.
Memory OptimizedStorage & Database
Microsoft Azure E4-2s_v3 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the ESv3 family, configured with 2 dedicated vCPUs from an Intel Xeon E5-2673 v4 processor running at 2.3 GHz. It features 32.0 GB of RAM, providing a high memory-to-core ratio of 16.0 GB per core, alongside 66 GB of local storage with Premium Storage capability. Running on Microsoft Hyper-V, this x86_64 instance exhibits a significant performance tradeoff: while memory capacity is high, benchmark results show low computational and memory bandwidth throughput, with Geekbench single-core and multi-core scores falling in the bottom 10%. Consequently, this server is best suited for memory-intensive but compute-light workloads, such as database caching, small database operations, and basic web serving, where resource density favors memory capacity over raw processing power.
