    Server Description

    A high-density memory-optimized virtual machine featuring massive RAM capacity and local storage for demanding enterprise database and analytical workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    The Microsoft Azure M128-64bds_3_v3 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the MBDSMediumMemoryv3 family. Powered by a dedicated Intel Xeon 8473C x86_64 processor running at 4.0 GHz, it provides 32 physical cores, 64 vCPUs, and 2794.0 GB of RAM. The instance includes 6144 GB of local storage and is Premium Storage capable, with no integrated GPUs. It exhibits top-tier performance in large-block memory read bandwidth and Passmark database operations. Supported by Intel AVX-512 and AMX extensions, it delivers strong multi-core processing and high-throughput data handling. This server is engineered for memory-intensive enterprise workloads, including large-scale databases, in-memory data stores like Redis, and complex analytical processing.

    Workload Profiles

    3.95Score
    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.
