Azure M-series VMs offer memory up to 4 TB on a single VM with configurations of 64 or 128 hyper-threaded vCPUs, powered by Intel\u00ae Xeon\u00ae 2.5 GHz E7-8890 v3 processors. We\u2019re also excited to announce that Azure is the first hyperscale cloud provider to offer VMs with up to 4TB optimized for large in-memory database workloads in a sovereign cloud.<\/p>\n<p>The Azure M-series is perfectly suited for your large in-memory workloads like SAP HANA and SQL Hekaton. With the M-series, these databases can load large datasets into memory and utilize the fast memory access with huge amounts of vCPU parallel processing to speed up queries and enable real-time analytics. You can deploy these large workloads in minutes and on-demand, scaling elastically as your usage demands. With availability SLAs of 99.95% for an Availability Set, 99.9% for a single node, you can provide application level SLA guarantees to your. Like all Azure VMs, you will be billed per-second (rounded down to the nearest minute) and you can even set-up automation on the platform to make sure you shut down and scale these VMs automatically, saving even more cost.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/announcing-the-general-availability-of-b-series-and-m-series\/\">M-Series<\/a>.<\/p>\n<table width=\"770\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Size<\/td>\n<td>vCPU\u2019s<\/td>\n<td>Memory (GiB)<\/td>\n<td>Local SSD (GiB)<\/td>\n<td>Max data disks<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>M64s<\/td>\n<td>64<\/td>\n<td>1024<\/td>\n<td>2048<\/td>\n<td>32<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>M64ms<\/td>\n<td>64<\/td>\n<td>1792<\/td>\n<td>2048<\/td>\n<td>32<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>M128s<\/td>\n<td>128<\/td>\n<td>2048<\/td>\n<td>4096<\/td>\n<td>64<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>M128ms<\/td>\n<td>128<\/td>\n<td>3800<\/td>\n<td>4096<\/td>\n<td>64<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For more information, please visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/services\/virtual-machines\">Virtual Machines<\/a> page and the <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/pricing\/details\/virtual-machines\">Virtual Machines pricing<\/a> page.<\/p>\n<p>To request access to the M-series, submit your <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/azure\/azure-supportability\/resource-manager-core-quotas-request\">request quota<\/a> and after your quota has been approved, you can use the Azure portal or API\u2019s to deploy.<\/p>\n<p>You can learn more about running SAP on Azure <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.com\/sap\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span>We welcome your comments and suggestions to help us improve your Azure Government experience.
