Server Description
A memory-intensive x86_64 server configuration featuring massive RAM capacity and local storage for demanding enterprise database workloads.
Microsoft Azure FX96-48mds_v2 is a memory-intensive server instance from the FXmdsv2 family, built on the x86_64 architecture and managed via the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. The instance features 48 dedicated vCPUs powered by an Intel processor, paired with 1832.0 GB of system memory, which establishes a high memory-to-core ratio of 38.17 GB per vCPU. Storage capabilities include a 5669 GB local disk with Premium Storage compatibility. There are no integrated GPUs or complimentary public IPv4 addresses. This configuration provides a high-density memory profile relative to its compute resources, making it qualitatively cost-efficient for workloads that demand substantial memory capacity without proportional CPU scaling. The server is designed for memory-intensive applications, including large-scale in-memory databases, enterprise resource planning systems, and heavy data analytics pipelines.
