Esv6-series and Edsv6-series (Preview)

Applies to ✔️ Linux VMs ✔️ Windows VMs ✔️ Flexible scale sets ✔️ Uniform scale sets

Note

Azure Virtual Machine Series Esv6 and Edsv6 are currently in Preview. See the Preview Terms Of Use | Microsoft Azure for legal terms that apply to Azure features that are in beta, preview, or otherwise not yet released into general availability.

The Esv6 and Edsv6-series Virtual Machine (VM) run on the 5th Generation Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8473C (Emerald Rapids) processor in a hyper threaded configuration, providing a better value proposition for most general-purpose workloads. This new processor features an all- core turbo clock speed of 3.0 GHz with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology, Intel® Advanced-Vector Extensions 512 (Intel® AVX-512) and Intel® Deep Learning Boost. The Esv6 and Edsv6-series feature up to 1024 GiB of RAM. These virtual machines are ideal for memory-intensive enterprise applications, relational database servers, and in-memory analytics workloads.

These new Intel based VMs have two variants: Esv6 without local SSD and Edsv6 with local SSD.

Esv6-series

Esv6-series virtual machines run on the 5th Generation Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8473C (Emerald Rapids) processor reaching an all- core turbo clock speed of up to 3.0 GHz. These virtual machines offer up to 128 vCPU and 1024 GiB of RAM. Esv6-series virtual machines are ideal for memory-intensive enterprise applications and applications that benefit from low latency, high-speed local storage.

Edsv6-series

Edsv6-series virtual machines run on the 5th Generation Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8473C (Emerald Rapids) processor reaching an all core turbo clock speed of up to 3.0 GHz. These virtual machines offer up to 192 vCPU and 1832 GiB of RAM and fast, local SSD storage up to 6x1760 GiB. Edsv6-series virtual machines are ideal for memory-intensive enterprise applications and applications that benefit from low latency, high-speed local storage.

Edsv6-series virtual machines support Standard SSD and Standard HDD disk types. To use Premium SSD or Ultra Disk storage, select Edsv6-series virtual machines. Disk storage is billed separately from virtual machines. See pricing for disks.

Size table definitions

Storage capacity is shown in units of GiB or 1024^3 bytes. When you compare disks measured in GB (1000^3 bytes) to disks measured in GiB (1024^3) remember that capacity numbers given in GiB may appear smaller. For example, 1023 GiB = 1098.4 GB.

Disk throughput is measured in input/output operations per second (IOPS) and MBps where MBps = 10^6 bytes/sec.

Data disks can operate in cached or uncached modes. For cached data disk operation, the host cache mode is set to ReadOnly or ReadWrite. For uncached data disk operation, the host cache mode is set to None.

To learn how to get the best storage performance for your VMs, see Virtual machine and disk performance.

Expected network bandwidth is the maximum aggregated bandwidth allocated per VM type across all NICs, for all destinations. For more information, see Virtual machine network bandwidth.

Upper limits aren't guaranteed. Limits offer guidance for selecting the right VM type for the intended application. Actual network performance will depend on several factors including network congestion, application loads, and network settings. For information on optimizing network throughput, see Optimize network throughput for Azure virtual machines. To achieve the expected network performance on Linux or Windows, you may need to select a specific version or optimize your VM. For more information, see Bandwidth/Throughput testing (NTTTCP).
