Server Description
A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processors and substantial local storage for parallel, memory-intensive enterprise workloads.
Memory OptimizedStorage & Database
Microsoft Azure E48a_v4 is an EAv4-family virtual machine featuring 48 dedicated vCPUs and 384.0 GB of RAM, powered by an AMD EPYC 7452 processor operating at 3.35 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture with Microsoft Hyper-V, this server includes 1229 GB of local storage and no GPU accelerators. Performance benchmarks reveal a distinct tradeoff: single-core CPU performance ranks in the bottom 10%, whereas multi-threaded operations, such as bzip3 decompression and PassMark encryption, rank in the top 25%. Most other metrics, including memory bandwidth, Redis operations, and software compilation, fall within the middle 50%. With its 1:8 vCPU-to-RAM ratio and substantial local storage, the E48a_v4 is designed for memory-intensive workloads, including relational databases, in-memory caching, and parallel data processing tasks that do not rely heavily on single-threaded execution speed.
