      Server Description

      An x86_64 virtual machine offering a high memory-to-core ratio for database hosting and memory-intensive enterprise workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure E8s_v4 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the ESv4 family, running on Microsoft Hyper-V. Powered by an Intel Xeon 8272CL x86_64 processor, it provides 8 dedicated vCPUs across 4 physical cores at 2.6 GHz, paired with 64.0 GB of RAM. The instance lacks local storage and GPUs but supports Premium Storage. Benchmark data indicates average performance for standard compute, database operations, and cached memory reads, though uncached large-block memory bandwidth is relatively weak. This hardware profile is best suited for memory-intensive workloads like database hosting, Redis caching, and enterprise applications.

      Workload Profiles

      0.43Score
      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.
