Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Esv4 Series of Azure Virtual Machines?
The Esv4 Series are compute-optimized virtual machines from Microsoft Azure that feature Intel Xeon Platinum processors and local NVMe SSD storage. They are designed for workloads that require high CPU performance and fast storage access.
What kind of workloads are best suited for the Esv4 Series?
This series is ideal for compute-intensive applications such as large-scale databases, SAP HANA, web servers, application servers, and development or testing environments that demand high performance and low latency.
How does the local NVMe storage benefit my applications?
Local NVMe storage provides very high IOPS and low latency, which can significantly speed up applications that are sensitive to storage performance, like databases and transaction-heavy workloads. It is temporary storage, however, and data will be lost if the VM is stopped or deallocated.
