Server Description
A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring high memory density and local SSD storage for demanding database and in-memory workloads.
Microsoft Azure M12ds_v3 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the MDSMediumMemoryv3 family, designed for workloads requiring high memory density. Powered by an Intel processor on the x86_64 architecture and managed via Microsoft Hyper-V, this instance provides 12 dedicated vCPUs and 240.0 GB of RAM, yielding an exceptional 20.0 GB of memory per core. The server includes 410 GB of local SSD storage and supports Premium Storage for demanding disk operations, though it lacks integrated GPU accelerators and complimentary public IPv4 addresses. This hardware profile is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-bound applications, allowing users to scale memory capacity without paying for unneeded compute cores. It is highly suited for relational databases, in-memory analytics, and enterprise applications.
