    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring high memory bandwidth and premium block storage capabilities for demanding database and enterprise workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure E48bs_v5 is an EBSv5-family virtual machine configured with 48 dedicated vCPUs and 384.0 GB of RAM, utilizing the x86_64 architecture with Intel Xeon 8370C processors running at 2.8 GHz. Operating under the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this instance features 24 physical cores with hyper-threading and lacks local storage, relying instead on Premium Storage block capabilities. Performance benchmarks highlight strong capabilities in memory bandwidth, database operations, and static web serving throughput, alongside a robust PassMark CPU score of 50828.28. Conversely, large-scale LLM inference represents a performance tradeoff, with poor text generation speeds on 70B models. Qualitatively, the server provides a resource-dense memory profile optimized for external storage workloads. It is best suited for memory-intensive applications, relational databases, and enterprise workloads requiring high memory capacity and strong block storage performance.

    Workload Profiles

    2.55Score
    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.
