    Server Description

    A high-density storage and memory-optimized virtual machine featuring massive local NVMe capacity and dedicated AMD EPYC processing power.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure L32aos_v4 is a high-capacity storage and memory-optimized virtual machine powered by a dedicated AMD EPYC 9V74 processor. Featuring 32 vCPUs across 16 physical cores running at 3.7 GHz, the server is equipped with 256.0 GB of RAM and an extensive 23,038 GB local NVMe SSD. Benchmark results indicate strong single-core and multi-core performance in Geekbench and stress-ng, alongside strong cryptographic execution and small-model LLM inference. Memory bandwidth, database operations, and static web serving throughput perform in the average tier. The massive local storage capacity and balanced memory-to-vCPU ratio make this instance highly cost-efficient for data-dense environments, eliminating the need for external storage attachments. It is ideally suited for large-scale databases, data warehousing, big data analytics, and high-throughput transactional workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    1.6Score
    Precomputed compound score for Cache Intensive workloads. A weighted average (geometric mean) of benchmark scores compared to their medians: score = ∏ (x_i / m_i)^(w_i / Σw). The score of 1.0 represents a synthetic baseline server with the median performance of each component benchmark; 0.5 means roughly half the performance; and 2.0 means twice the performance of that reference profile. Component weights: 50% Redis RPS (pipeline=1, SET), 20% Redis RPS (pipeline=16, SET), 10% PassMark Memory Mark (composite), 10% Memory bandwidth (read, 16 MB ~ L3), 10% PassMark single-thread CPU. Rationale for component selection: In-memory key-value store workload, mixing direct Redis performance metrics with memory speed and latency benchmarks, and single-core CPU performance profiles.
