Server Description
A memory-optimized, RDMA-capable virtual server featuring dedicated processors and high-capacity local NVMe SSD storage for demanding data workloads.
Microsoft Azure HB120-16rs_v3 is an x86_64 architecture server within the HBv3 family, running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It features 16 dedicated vCPUs powered by an Intel processor, paired with 456.0 GB of system memory, which translates to an exceptionally high allocation of 28.5 GB of RAM per core. The server is equipped with 2412 GB of local NVMe SSD storage and supports Premium Storage. Additionally, it is RDMA capable, enabling low-latency networking for clustered environments. With no integrated GPUs, this server is designed for memory-intensive and storage-heavy workloads. The high memory-to-vCPU ratio and dedicated CPU allocation make it qualitatively cost-efficient for resource-dense applications. It is highly suitable for large-scale databases, in-memory data processing, and high-performance computing workloads that benefit from RDMA and fast local storage.
