AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today announced Azure Data Explorer, a Platform

near real-time analytics, will now offer customers access to
Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines featuring AMD EPYC™ processors.
In a collaboration between AMD, Azure compute and Azure Data

EPYC processor based Azure Dav4, Eav4, Easv4 and Lsv2 VMs for use.
The family of AMD EPYC processor based Azure VMs enables Azure Data
Explorer customers to gain up to 30 – 50 percent more performance
on data analytics workloads for the same cost. With this
performance and efficiency, Azure Data Explorer customers can
improve the real-time analysis on large volumes of data streaming
from applications, websites, IoT devices, and more.
“The uplift in performance and efficiency capabilities provided
by the AMD EPYC powered VMs on Microsoft Azure Data Explorer is
another great proof point of the performance capabilities of our
processors,” said Dan McNamara, senior vice president and general
manager, Server Business Unit, AMD. “The AMD, Azure and Azure Data
Explorer teams worked diligently together to provide this
performance uplift for Azure Data Explorer, giving customers more
capabilities to identify patterns, anomalies, and trends in their
data to make better business decisions.”
“We’re pleased to offer Microsoft Azure VMs that feature AMD
EPYC processors to Azure Data Explorer customers,” said Uri Barash,
Principle Group Program Manager at Microsoft Corp. “As one of the
largest workloads running on Azure and the analytical store for
Microsoft online services including Office, Windows and other
internal properties, Azure Data Explorer is one of the most
demanding services available and the AMD EPYC VMs have stood up to
that challenge. Their performance combined with the software
innovations with the latest version of Azure Data Explorer gives
our customers even more performance and capabilities while they are
