AMD EPYC processors along with solutions from VMware® by Broadcom, such as VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) and VMware vSphere® Foundation (VVF), which include software such as vSphere®, vCenter®, vSAN® and NSX, provide a solid foundation for constructing private cloud infrastructures. The strategic collaboration between AMD and VMware By Broadcom empowers organizations to effectively deploy and manage virtualized environments that fulfill their performance and scalability needs while optimizing energy efficiency and total cost of ownership.

Our industry is rife with hyperbole and hard-to-defend and hard-to-replicate claims. AMD takes a different and more transparent approach. AMD EPYC servers make your Datacenter AI-Ready by improving performance and power efficiency without compromises, and with published numbers that speak for themselves.

I am delighted to announce that both general-purpose and high frequency 4^th Gen AMD EPYC processors extend their competitive performance edge to include equivalent 5^th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors in both power efficiency and across a wide range of workloads that include foundational workloads, virtualized infrastructure, decision support systems, business applications, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Finite Element Analysis (FEA), molecular dynamics, quantum chemistry, and weather forecasting.

There is no one set journey to AI enablement.  AI (and the infrastructure to run it) will take many forms. Many enterprises will follow different paths based on their specific goals, business and technical priorities and other considerations. But no matter where your enterprise is ultimately headed in the AI era, AMD EPYC processor-powered servers offer the platform to take you there as your needs evolve.

This week, we introduced two additional processor models to the 4th Gen AMD EPYC™ processor family at the Datacenter and AI Technology Premier. I am excited to take this opportunity to provide an update on the software ecosystem readiness and showcase some of the performance proof points for the AMD EPYC 97x4 processors.

In this blog, I will discuss the ways that AMD and VMware have worked together to make migrating from Legacy IT Infrastructures easy!

In order to understand Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI), a brief history of the evolution of the legacy data center to the modern-day data center is needed.

We talked in a previous AMD blog about enterprise IT teams moving to Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI), as well as the new Dell EMC VxRail systems with AMD EPYC^TM processors. The evolution toward HCI allows enterprises to consolidate multiple pieces of function-specific hardware into more manageable clusters. This is accomplished leveraging advancements in software defined networking capabilities and high-performance virtualization technologies in a more general-purpose server.
