Microsoft Unveils New Azure VMs for High-Performance Computing

Microsoft has unveiled the general availability of two new Azure instances designed to meet the needs of businesses with remote storage performance and memory-intensive applications. The introduction of the Ebsv5 and Ebdsv5 models brings significant improvements in remote storage IOPS and throughput, surpassing their predecessor, the Ev4.

With up to three times higher remote storage IOPS and up to six times higher remote storage throughput performance, the new Azure instances offer enhanced capabilities to customers. Microsoft suggests that these advancements may enable businesses to reduce the number of virtual machines (VMs) they require, resulting in potential cost savings.
