We’re excited to announce the addition of two new sizes, E128 and E192, in the Azure Esv6 and Edsv6-series Virtual Machine families, powered by the 5th Generation Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8573C (Emerald Rapids) processor. These sizes are generally available with diskful and diskless options in select Azure regions.
These new VM sizes offer up to 192 vCPUs and 1832 GiB of RAM, making them ideal for enterprise-scale applications such as in-memory analytics, large relational databases, and in-memory cache workloads. With Intel® Total Memory Encryption (Intel TME) and NVMe-enabled local and remote storage, these VMs deliver both performance and security at scale.
Key Highlights
- Memory-Optimized Performance: Up to 1832 GiB of RAM for memory intensive workloads.
- Azure Boost: Up to 400K IOPS and 12 GB/s remote storage throughput with 200 Gbps network bandwidth.
- Security First: Intel TME ensures data protection in system memory.
- NVMe Interface: 3X improvement in local storage IOPS for low-latency access.
Specifications of the E128 and E192 Sizes
The new Esv6-series and Edsv6-series virtual machines are built for memory-optimized workloads. Compared to the previous Ev5-series, they deliver up to 30% improved performance and feature an NVMe interface along with increased local and remote storage capacity.
Below is an overview of specifications offered by the E128 and E192 Sizes. Please refer to the Azure Esv6 and Edsv6-Series pages for all sizes and specifications.
