Microsoft adds silicon muscle into latest Azure SQL database configs
Microsoft is bulking up its Azure SQL database services on the back of Intel's"Ice Lake" Xeon and AMD's"Milan" Epyc server chipsets.
The company this week started a public preview of its standard-series – previously known as Gen 5 – provisioned databases and elastic pools that can now scale up to 128 vCores and 625GB of memory, a jump over the previous maximum of 80 vCores and 415GB of memory. The expansion is in line with user demand for greater scalability in the service, says Scott Kim, principal product manager for Azure SQL Database.
"More cores improve workload throughput, and newer chipsets improve single core performance," Kim wrote in aThe 128-vCore compute size runs on Intel's Xeon Platinum 8370C and AMD's Epyc 7763v chipsets. With the new size, the databases and elastic pools deliver maximum input/output operations per second of 327,680 and 409,600 respectively. Microsoft says this is the highest of any Azure SQL compute size.
At the same time, the number of concurrent workers for general-purpose and business-critical databases and pools also increases to 12,800 and 13,440 .
