Server Description
A memory-dense x86_64 server featuring dedicated Intel Xeon cores, RDMA capabilities, and substantial local storage for memory-intensive enterprise workloads.
Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose
Microsoft Azure HC44-16rs is an x86_64 server in the HCS family, utilizing 16 dedicated physical cores and 16 vCPUs on an Intel Xeon 8168 processor running at 2.7 GHz. It features 352.0 GB of RAM, yielding 22.0 GB per core, alongside 717 GB of local storage and RDMA capability. Performance benchmarks indicate average capabilities, with a multi-core stress-ng score of 22570.21 and a Passmark database score of 10797.1. However, LLM text generation is weak, with a 7B model achieving only 7.44 tokens per second. This server is suited for memory-intensive applications, database operations, and distributed computing tasks.
