“As the modern data center continues to evolve into a virtualized, hybrid cloud environment, AMD and VMware are working together to make sure customers have access to systems that provide high levels of performance on virtualization workloads, while enabling advanced security features that are simple to implement for better protection of data,” mentioned Dan McNamara, senior vice chairman and normal supervisor, Server Business Unit, AMD. “A virtualized data center with AMD EPYC processors and VMware enables customers to modernize the data center and have access to high-performance and leading-edge security features, across a wide variety of OEM platforms.”
“In a virtualized environment, it is critical to have protection of data not only from other virtual machines, but the hypervisor itself. This is why we chose to make vSphere 7 the first hypervisor to provide full SEV-ES support from AMD EPYC processors,” mentioned Krish Prasad, senior vice chairman and normal supervisor, Cloud Platform Business Unit, VMware. “This additional layer of security and data encryption is truly impactful for our customers as they can now encrypt data throughout their environment. But more importantly, customers don’t have to make changes to their applications to take full advantage of SEV-ES, making security implementation simple. AMD has made security an easy choice for our customers with these features and we’re excited to provide the security of AMD EPYC to them.”
The Growing AMD EPYC and VMware Ecosystem
AMD EPYC processors have change into a number one option to drive innovation of virtualization and HCI options on account of their accelerated efficiency, together with 2.3x higher VMmark 3.1.1 efficiency in comparison with the competitors, class main reminiscence capabilities, and a full safety function set with AMD Infinity Guard together with SEV-ES and Secure Memory Encryption.
AMD has additionally labored carefully with its OEM companions to create vSAN ReadyNodes licensed for AMD EPYC processors and different AMD EPYC processor and VMware HCI options that supply main efficiency, scalability, and whole value of possession.
- Dell Technologies: Dell EMC VxRail E Series hyperconverged programs – Featuring 2nd Gen AMD EPYC processors, these programs proceed the profitable collaboration between AMD, Dell Technologies and VMware enabling HCI for a large set of use circumstances.
- Dell EMC vSAN Ready Nodes – Using Dell EMC PowerEdge servers, clients can get the efficiency of AMD EPYC with the pliability of Dell EMC vSAN Ready Nodes, hyperconverged constructing blocks for VMware vSAN environments.
- HPE: HPE ProLiant DL325 and DL385 Gen10 and Gen10 Plus servers – Using 2nd Gen AMD EPYC processors, these servers are function constructed for VDI customers, business-critical functions, and combined workloads with scalable development. The servers are vSAN ReadyNode licensed as effectively.
- Lenovo Data Center Group: Lenovo provides Lenovo ThinkSystem single and twin socket servers which might be VMware vSAN ReadyNode licensed. This consists of the 2 socket Lenovo ThinkSystem SR645 and SR665 servers that includes enhanced efficiency and I/O connectivity for larger efficiency workloads and the one socket Lenovo ThinkSystem SR635 and SR655 servers to assist clients speed up larger efficiency workloads to enhance effectivity.
- Supermicro: Supermicro provides vSAN ReadyNode licensed options with dual-socket…
