    Server Description

    An x86_64 memory-optimized instance featuring a high memory-to-core ratio and bundled local storage for memory-bound, compute-light workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure E8-4ds_v4 is a memory-optimized server instance from the EDSv4 family, running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. Powered by an Intel Xeon 8272CL processor at 2.6 GHz, it provides 4 dedicated vCPUs and 64.0 GB of RAM, establishing a high 16.0 GB per vCPU memory ratio. The instance includes 307 GB of local storage and is Premium Storage capable. Benchmark results show weak performance in CPU-heavy tasks, including stress-ng and Passmark CPU tests, alongside weak memory bandwidth. However, it achieves average performance in single-threaded gzip compression and Geekbench single-core tests. This hardware profile is qualitatively cost-effective for memory-intensive, compute-light workloads. It is best suited for caching layers, small databases, and text processing applications where memory capacity is prioritized over raw processing speed.

    Workload Profiles

    0.279Score
    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.
