IBM power 8 (822) which Azure VM type should I choose ?

Question

Dear administrators,
I'm preparing for migration of my IBM Power 8 (822) machine to Azure. The machine has 78000 SAPS.
Which Azure VM should I choose to resemble the closest the source machine in terms of power (saps) ?
I'm thinking about Standard_E48as_v4 but maybe there is another that would match more closely my needs ?

best regards and thanks for all answers,

Peter

Hi @Dynio ,

According to the SAP benchmark page. The Azure SAP certified VM closest to the 78000 SAPS is the GS2 with 78620 SAPS, however, there are other alternatives that come close, such as the VM E64s v3.
You can check the list of VMs in Azure certified for SAP at the link below.
