Server Description
A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring a high memory-to-core ratio of twenty gigabytes per dedicated vCPU for memory-intensive enterprise workloads.
Microsoft Azure M12s_v3 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the MSMediumMemoryv3 family, designed for memory-intensive workloads. It features 12 dedicated vCPUs on an Intel x86_64 architecture and provides 240.0 GB of system memory, resulting in a high ratio of 20.0 GB of RAM per vCPU. The instance operates on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor and does not include local storage, though it is Premium Storage capable for external block storage needs. With no integrated GPU or complimentary public IPv4 addresses, its hardware profile is strictly tailored to memory-heavy operations. This configuration is suitable for large-scale databases, in-memory caching, and enterprise applications requiring substantial memory capacity without a corresponding demand for massive CPU core counts or local NVMe storage.
