    Server Description

    A high-density memory and storage virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and local NVMe SSDs for enterprise database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure E96-48ds_v6 is a memory-optimized virtual machine powered by an Intel Xeon 8573C processor with 48 dedicated vCPUs and 24 physical cores running at 4.2 GHz. It features 768.0 GB of RAM, delivering a high 16.0 GB per core allocation, alongside 5669 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. Benchmark results show strong memory read bandwidth of up to 3723.24 GB/sec and a top-tier Geekbench image processing score. The CPU includes advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and AMX, which accelerate cryptography and vector operations. With strong database performance, including 67.4 million Redis SET operations per second, this server is highly suited for memory-intensive workloads, large-scale databases, in-memory caching, and data-heavy enterprise applications.

    Workload Profiles

    3.4Score
    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.
