Server Description
A memory-optimized x86_64 server featuring 176 dedicated vCPUs and 3.8 TB of RAM for large-scale enterprise database workloads.
Microsoft Azure M176ds_4_v3 is an x86_64 memory-optimized server within the MDSMediumMemoryv3 family, running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It features 176 dedicated Intel vCPUs and a massive 3892.0 GB of system memory, providing 22.11 GB of RAM per core. The instance includes a 410 GB local SSD and supports Premium Storage, though it lacks GPU accelerators and complimentary public IPv4 addresses. This server is designed for high-density, memory-intensive enterprise workloads. The qualitative cost profile reflects its massive memory footprint and dedicated CPU allocation, making it suitable for large-scale in-memory databases, data warehousing, and enterprise resource planning systems. Tradeoffs include the absence of advanced CPU instruction sets like AVX-512 or AMX, meaning workloads relying heavily on specialized vector or matrix operations may not achieve optimal hardware acceleration.
