Server Description
A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel cores, high RAM-to-vCPU density, and fast local SSD storage for enterprise workloads.
Microsoft Azure PB6s is an x86_64 virtual machine within the PBS family, powered by an Intel processor and managed via the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It features 6 dedicated vCPUs and 112.0 GB of RAM, providing a high memory-to-core ratio of 18.67 GB per vCPU. The instance is equipped with 754 GB of local SSD storage and is Premium Storage capable, though it does not include any GPUs or complimentary public IPv4 addresses. This hardware profile is designed for memory-intensive workloads that benefit from dedicated CPU resources and fast local storage without requiring high core counts. The PB6s is suited for hosting database servers, caching layers, and memory-heavy enterprise applications. It provides a balanced option for workloads needing high memory density without the overhead of excessive CPU cores.
