    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring a high RAM-to-vCPU ratio and strong single-core performance for memory-bound, low-concurrency workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure E8-2as_v4 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the EASv4 family, running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It features an AMD EPYC 7763 processor with an x86_64 architecture, providing 2 dedicated vCPUs from a single physical core at a clock speed of 3.525 GHz. The server is configured with 64.0 GB of RAM, offering a high resource density of 32.0 GB per core, alongside 131 GB of local storage with Premium Storage capability. Performance benchmarks show strong single-core CPU execution, though multi-core performance and memory bandwidth are relatively weak due to the low core count. This hardware profile is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-heavy, low-concurrency applications. It is best suited for lightweight in-memory databases, caching layers, and memory-bound workloads that do not require extensive parallel processing.

    Workload Profiles

    0.171Score
    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.
