Save on Cloud OPEX with Modern Cloud Infrastructure
Older VMs lack the efficiency of the newest AMD VMs
Organizations choosing VMs are looking for high performance but want to minimize cost. Choosing older generation VMs with lower pricing can seem like a good solution.
However, choosing modern v6 Da, Ea, and Fa-series VMs, built with 4th Gen AMD EPYC processors, can provide improved performance, leading to cloud OPEX savings when workloads can be accomplished at scale with fewer resources.
Same Workload Throughput, Fewer VMs
Powered by AMD EPYC™ processors, the Microsoft Azure Dasv6 VMs can deliver the same workload throughput as the Intel processor-based offering, using far fewer VMs. This can mean huge savings on computing costs.
A Variety of VMs with EPYC™
Microsoft Azure offersmultiple VMs powered by AMD EPYC™ processors that are designed for specific use cases, such as memory-intensive, compute-intensive, and HPC applications. See the full list of EPYC™ Azure VMs.
How Much Can Dadsv6 VMs Lower Your Cloud OpEx?
When moving from Ddsv5 to Dadsv6, customers can see up to 1.2x performance uplift and save 17% on Cloud OpEx on average.

The HammerDB TPROC-C workload is an open-source workload derived from TPC-Benchmark Standard, and as such is not comparable to published TPC-Cresults, as the results do not comply with the TPC-C Benchmark Standard.
Cloud performance results presented are based on the test date in the configuration. Results may vary due to changes to the underlying configuration, and other conditions such as the placement of the VM and its resources, optimizations by the cloud service provider, accessed cloud regions, co-tenants, and the types of other workloads exercised at the same time on the system.
