    Server Description

    A massive memory-optimized instance featuring 416 vCPUs and 8.5 TB of RAM for enterprise database and in-memory workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure M416s_9_v2 is an x86_64 memory-optimized server from the MSv2 family, running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It is powered by Intel Xeon 8280L processors, providing 416 dedicated vCPUs across 208 physical cores at 2.7 GHz. The server features a massive 8568.0 GB of RAM and 4194 GB of local storage with Premium Storage capability, but lacks dedicated GPUs. While single-core benchmarks and single-threaded compression tasks perform poorly, the instance achieves top-tier multi-core CPU performance and exceptional memory bandwidth, reaching 20894.32 GB/sec for cached reads. It is highly optimized for memory-intensive enterprise workloads, large-scale in-memory databases, high-throughput Redis operations, and static web serving, though it is less suited for tasks requiring high single-threaded clock speeds or GPU acceleration.

    Workload Profiles

    10.5Score
    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.
