Server Description
A memory-optimized x86_64 server featuring high RAM-to-vCPU density and premium local storage for demanding database workloads.
Microsoft Azure NP20s is an x86_64 server instance within the NPS family, operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It is equipped with 20 dedicated vCPUs from an Intel processor and 336.0 GB of system memory, providing a high resource density of 16.8 GB of RAM per core. The instance features 1509 GB of local storage with Premium Storage capability, though it lacks integrated GPU hardware and complimentary public IPv4 addresses. Designed for memory-intensive workloads, the NP20s provides dedicated CPU allocation to ensure stable performance. This hardware profile is suited for large-scale databases, in-memory caching, and enterprise applications requiring substantial memory capacity relative to compute resources.
