Server Description
A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring high memory density per core and local storage for demanding database and caching workloads.
Microsoft Azure M12ds_v3 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the MDSMediumMemoryv3 family, designed for workloads requiring a high memory-to-vCPU ratio. Powered by an Intel x86_64 processor and managed via Microsoft Hyper-V, this instance provides 12 dedicated vCPUs and 240.0 GB of RAM, translating to 20.0 GB of memory per core. The server features 410 GB of local storage and supports Premium Storage for demanding disk I/O requirements. It does not include integrated GPUs or complimentary public IPv4 addresses. The high memory density of the M12ds_v3 makes it qualitatively cost-effective for memory-bound workloads that do not require excessive compute scaling. This instance is suited for hosting medium-sized databases, in-memory caches, and enterprise applications.
