Server Description
A memory-optimized virtual server featuring sixteen dedicated cores and high memory density for demanding database and caching workloads.
Microsoft Azure EC16es_v6 is an ECEV6 family memory-optimized server featuring 16 dedicated Intel vCPUs on an x86_64 architecture, managed via the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It is equipped with 128.0 GB of RAM, establishing 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 for high-performance external storage attachments. It contains no GPUs and offers zero complimentary public IPv4 addresses. Designed for memory-intensive workloads, this server provides a qualitatively cost-effective balance of dense memory resources relative to its compute capacity. It is highly suited for enterprise applications, in-memory databases, caching layers, and structured data processing tasks that demand significant memory capacity without requiring local physical disks.
