Server Description
An x86_64 dedicated compute instance featuring one hundred and twenty vCPUs, RDMA networking, and local NVMe SSD storage.
Microsoft Azure HB120rs_v3 is an x86_64 architecture server instance within the HBv3 family, designed for high-performance compute workloads. It features 120 dedicated vCPUs utilizing an Intel processor, managed by the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. The system is configured with 456.0 GB of RAM, providing 3.8 GB of memory per core. For storage, the instance includes 2412 GB of local NVMe SSD storage and supports Premium Storage. It is RDMA capable, enabling low-latency cluster communication, though it lacks GPU accelerators. This hardware profile offers a high density of compute resources and fast local storage, making it qualitatively cost-efficient for large-scale parallel processing. The server is suited for distributed scientific simulations, high-performance computing (HPC), and database workloads requiring substantial CPU cores and fast storage access without GPU requirements.
