Microsoft: Availability Storage Optimized Azure VMs Deliver Performance for Data Analytics
With Lsv3 VM series based on 3rd gen Xeon Platinum 8370C processor in hyper-threaded configuration, and Lasv3 VM series featuring 3rd gen EPYC 7763v processor in multithreaded configuration
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on July 1, 2022 at 2:02 pmMicrosoft Corp. had announced the availability of storage optimized Azure Virtual Machines.
The Lasv3 and Lsv3 VM series have been engineered to run workloads that require high throughput and high IO/s, including big data applications, SQL and NoSQL databases, distributed file systems, data analytics engines, and more.
This VM series provide faster processors, increased networking, and higher remote disk throughput compared to prior generation storage optimized VMs.
More specifically:
- The Lsv3 VM series is based on the 3rd gen Xeon Platinum 8370C (Ice Lake) processor in a hyper-threaded configuration.
- The Lasv3 VM series features the 3rd gen EPYC 7763v (Milan) processor in a multithreaded configuration.
Both Lsv3 and Lasv3 VMs provide high throughput, low latency, directly mapped local NVMe storage and 1×1.92TB NVMe SSD per 8 vCPUs, with up to 19.2TB available on the largest instance.
