Server Description
An x86_64 server configuration featuring high memory density, local storage, and RDMA capability for memory-intensive clustered workloads.
Microsoft Azure HB120-16rs_v3 is an x86_64 architecture server instance in the HBv3 family, operating under the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It features an Intel processor with 16 dedicated vCPUs and 456.0 GB of memory, resulting in a high memory-to-core ratio of 28.5 GB per core. The server is equipped with 2412 GB of local storage, supports Premium Storage, and is RDMA capable for high-speed networking. It does not contain any GPUs. This hardware profile provides high memory density relative to the compute core count, offering qualitative cost efficiency for memory-bound tasks by reducing the need to scale out compute resources solely for memory capacity. The dedicated CPU allocation ensures consistent processing performance without resource contention. The instance is suited for memory-intensive applications, database workloads, and clustered simulations requiring RDMA support.
