      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual machine delivering high RAM density per core to support memory-intensive workloads with low parallel processing requirements.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure E4-2s_v5 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the ESv5 family, featuring 2 dedicated vCPUs powered by a single physical Intel Xeon 8370C core at 2.8 GHz. It is configured with 32.0 GB of RAM, providing a high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 16.0 GB per core, but includes no local storage or GPUs. Performance benchmarks indicate average single-core capabilities but poor multi-core and memory bandwidth results. This resource profile makes the instance highly cost-efficient for memory-heavy workloads that do not require intensive parallel processing. It is best suited for small databases, caching systems, and memory-bound single-threaded applications.

      Workload Profiles

      0.21Score
      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.
