Server Description
An AMD-powered virtual machine featuring sixteen dedicated vCPUs and a high memory-to-core ratio of eight gigabytes per core.
Microsoft Azure EC16as_v5 is an x86_64 architecture virtual machine from the ECASv5 family, running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It features 16 dedicated vCPUs powered by AMD processors and 128.0 GB of system memory, providing a high memory-to-core ratio of 8.0 GB per vCPU. The instance does not include local storage but is Premium Storage capable, allowing connection to external high-performance storage volumes. It contains zero GPUs and zero complimentary public IPv4 addresses. This memory-optimized configuration is designed for workloads requiring substantial RAM capacity relative to compute resources, such as relational databases, in-memory caching, and data analytics. The dedicated CPU allocation ensures consistent performance, while the high memory density offers qualitative cost efficiency for memory-bound enterprise applications.
