    Server Description

    A high-capacity, memory-optimized virtual machine featuring ninety-six AMD EPYC vCPUs and local storage for demanding database and enterprise workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure E96as_v4 is an EASv4-series virtual machine designed for memory-intensive workloads. It features 96 dedicated vCPUs and 672.0 GB of RAM, powered by an AMD EPYC 7763 processor running at 3.525 GHz across 48 physical cores. The instance includes 1376 GB of local storage with Premium Storage capability and operates on the x86_64 architecture under Microsoft Hyper-V. Benchmark results show top-tier multi-core CPU performance and memory scores, alongside strong cryptographic and database execution. However, large-block memory bandwidth and single-core processing remain average. This resource profile is highly suited for large-scale databases, in-memory caching, and multi-threaded enterprise applications, offering a balanced tradeoff between high memory capacity and robust multi-core compute density without the inclusion of dedicated GPU hardware.

    Workload Profiles

    2.82Score
    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.
