Description
Many kinds of companies use decision support system (DSS) workloads to collect information and translate it into insights that drive business decisions. For these workloads, speed is of the essence. This is because the more current the data, the better it can inform decisions. For DSS workloads you’re running in the cloud, it’s vital to select a virtual machine that can execute queries quickly.
Independent testing measured the DSS workload performance of two types of Microsoft Azure: Edsv5-series VMs featuring 3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors and Edsv4-series VMs featuring 2nd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors. At three different VM sizes, the latest-generation Edsv5-series VMs completed a set of queries faster. This greater speed can help your business two ways: by needing less VM uptime, which reduces expenses, and by getting valuable information earlier, which could lead to better business decisions.
