Azure
announces the public preview of our very first Network Optimized
VMs built on the new 5th Gen Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8537C (Emerald
Rapids) offering unparalleled performance and flexibility. These
Intel-based VMs come with three different memory-to-core
ratios and offer options with and without local SSD across all the
new VMs – the Network Optimized Dnsv6, Dndsv6, Dnlsv6, Dnldsv6, Ensv6 and
Endsv6 series.
The
new Network Optimized sizes make use of enhancements provided by Azure Boost to
deliver increased network bandwidth per vCPU, a greater number of
vNICs, and significantly improved connection setup performance. The
Network Optimized SKUs are an extension of our v6 Intel Dn/Dln/En disk and
diskful VMs SKUs.
These VMs
will offer:
- Up
to 3x improvement in NW BW/Vcpu than the current
generation Intel Dl/D/Ev6 VMs
- 2x
vNIC allocation on smaller vCPU sizes
- Up
to 8x Boost in Connection per Second (CPS) performance and significantly
reduced connection setup latency across all sizes.
- Up
to 200 Gbps VM network bandwidth
- Up
to 192vCPU and >18GiB of memory
- Up
to 400k IOPS and 12 GB/s remote storage throughput
- NVMe
interface for local and remote disks
- Enhanced
security through Total Memory Encryption (TME) technology
These VMs
significantly provide increased networking resources of Intel VM
options available for Azure customers. For Public Preview, these VMs will
initially be available in US East.
