Description

We are pleased to announce we are deploying HB and HC Virtual Machines to additional regions

  • The HB-Series VM is now available in East US.
  • The HC-Series VM is now available in Japan East.

The HB-series VMs are optimized for HPC applications driven by memory bandwidth, such as fluid dynamics, explicit finite element analysis, and weather modeling.

HC-series VMs are optimized for HPC applications driven by intensive computation, such as implicit finite element analysis, reservoir simulation, and computational chemistry.
