Server Description
An arm64 virtual machine offering seventy-two dedicated cores and a balanced memory profile for scalable, multi-threaded general-purpose workloads.
Google Cloud Platform c4a-standard-72 is an arm64-based virtual machine instance configured with 72 dedicated vCPUs and 288.0 GB of system memory. This configuration establishes a balanced 1:4 vCPU-to-RAM ratio, providing exactly 4.0 GB of memory per core. The instance does not feature local storage, complimentary public IPv4 addresses, or GPU accelerators, relying entirely on network-attached storage for data persistence. Utilizing the arm64 architecture, it offers a resource-dense and qualitatively cost-efficient profile for multi-threaded applications. The c4a-standard-72 is designed for general-purpose workloads, including web serving, containerized microservices, and distributed application deployments that require high core counts without specialized hardware acceleration.
