Server Description
An ARM-powered virtual machine offering high memory bandwidth, dedicated physical cores, and substantial local storage for data-intensive workloads.
Memory OptimizedStorage & Database
Microsoft Azure E48pds_v6 is an ARM-based virtual machine from the Epdsv6 family, utilizing 48 dedicated physical cores of the Microsoft Neoverse-N2 processor running at 3.4 GHz. It features 384.0 GB of RAM, providing an 8.0 GB per core memory-to-core ratio, alongside 2835 GB of local storage. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this instance delivers top-tier memory bandwidth, with uncached large-block reads at 463.82 GB/sec and writes at 199.65 GB/sec. Multi-core benchmarks are strong, highlighted by a Geekbench multi-core score of 21816.0 and Passmark database operations in the top 10%. However, single-core performance is average, and large-scale LLM prompt processing is weak. This hardware profile is suited for memory-intensive databases, multi-threaded software compilation, and high-throughput web serving.
