    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring high RAM density, dedicated Intel Xeon cores, and integrated local storage for memory-intensive workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure E48s_v3 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the ESv3 family, powered by an Intel Xeon E5-2673 v4 processor with 48 dedicated vCPUs and 24 physical cores running at 2.3 GHz. It features 384.0 GB of RAM, providing a high 8.0 GB per-core memory allocation, alongside 786 GB of local storage with Premium Storage capability. Benchmark results indicate a distinct tradeoff: single-core CPU performance is poor, ranking in the bottom 10% to 25%, whereas multi-core and memory performance are more resilient. Specifically, the PassMark memory score ranks in the top 25%, and multi-core benchmarks consistently achieve average ratings. This server configuration is suited for memory-intensive workloads, database operations, and caching systems that benefit from high memory capacity and moderate multi-threaded processing rather than high single-threaded compute speeds.

    Workload Profiles

    1.32Score
    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.
