    Server Description

    A high-capacity storage and memory-optimized instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and massive local NVMe SSD performance.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory Optimized

    Microsoft Azure L48s_v4 is a storage-optimized server instance designed for high-throughput, data-intensive workloads. Powered by an Intel Xeon 8573C processor operating at 4.2 GHz, it delivers 48 dedicated vCPUs, 24 physical cores, and a 260 MB L3 cache. The system is configured with 384.0 GB of RAM and a massive 11,519 GB local NVMe SSD, providing exceptional local storage capacity and a 1:8 vCPU-to-RAM ratio. Performance benchmarks highlight strong capabilities, including a Passmark CPU score of 63,100.84, a Redis SET throughput of 67.33 million operations per second, and high memory read bandwidth of 223.94 GB/sec for large blocks. Lacking a GPU, it relies on Intel AMX instructions to accelerate CPU-based vector and matrix calculations. This hardware profile makes the L48s_v4 highly efficient for large databases, caching layers, and high-throughput web serving.

    Workload Profiles

    3.3Score
    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.
