“As we enter a new era of computing, the exascale era, we’re seeing new workloads, new infrastructure, a new way of thinking – and this requires capabilities and performance like we get from our next-generation Shasta supercomputer combined with AMD EPYC processors,” said Peter Ungaro, president and CEO at Cray. “Since Cray announced support for AMD processors in our systems over a year ago, we’ve booked almost $800 million in AMD EPYC-based systems. With the 2nd Gen AMD EPYC processors connected via our new Slingshot system interconnect, we’re able to deliver the performance our customers require for the exascale era.”
“Today, through our expanded relationship with AMD, we are pushing boundaries on performance and efficiency in ways that will accelerate our customers’ intelligent transformation. Our new ThinkSystem solutions, powered by next-generation AMD EPYC™ 7002 Series processors, allow users to store and access huge amounts of data,” said Doug Fisher, chief operating officer and senior vice president of Business Units, DCG Solutions, Lenovo. “The greater storage, processing and graphics capabilities unlock the potential of enhanced video security and other critical applications for edge and virtualized environments. A perfect example is video security in smart city, campus and mass transit environments where public safety organizations need that additional computing power in confined spaces using less energy so they can better monitor and analyze potential threats.”
“As workloads become more demanding and complex, Dell Technologies is focused on helping organizations succeed in dynamic environments using innovative and industry-leading server designs,” said Ravi Pendekanti, senior vice president of product management, Server & Infrastructure Systems, Dell Technologies. “Through close collaboration with AMD, we are addressing the demands of traditional, virtualized, hybrid and multi-cloud workloads with a broad portfolio of PowerEdge servers, including newly designed servers optimized for 2nd Generation AMD EPYC processors.”
“VMware and AMD’s ongoing engineering collaboration is focused on delivering optimal application performance and security for our mutual customers,” said Krish Prasad, senior vice president and general manager, Cloud Platform Business Unit, VMware. “We both see the value in driving security deeper into the infrastructure especially as modern IT infrastructure becomes more distributed. The Secure Encrypted Virtualization feature in the 2nd Gen AMD EPYC processor will help protect customers’ critical data across the multi-site datacenter fabric. Combined with AMD’s legendary processor performance, we expect our mutual customers will be able to gain efficiencies and security capabilities to power their workloads.”
