    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual server featuring high RAM density and local SSD storage for memory-intensive, low-compute workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure E8-2ds_v4 is an x86_64 memory-optimized server instance from the EDSv4 family, running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It features a dedicated Intel Xeon 8272CL processor with 1 physical core and 2 vCPUs running at 2.6 GHz. The instance is configured with 64.0 GB of RAM, providing a high memory-to-core ratio of 32.0 GB per core, and includes a 307 GB local SSD with Premium Storage capability. Benchmark results indicate average single-core performance, such as a Geekbench single-core score of 1265.0, but poor multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics due to the low core count. This hardware profile offers high memory density and local storage capacity relative to compute resources, making it qualitatively cost-effective for memory-heavy, low-compute workloads. It is best suited for small databases, caching layers, and memory-intensive applications that do not require extensive parallel processing.

    Workload Profiles

    0.16Score
    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.
