─ AMD EPYC-powered HPE DL385 makes powerful indus­try waves with 50 per­cent lower cost per vir­tu­al machine

SUNNYVALE, Calif. — Nov. 20, 2017 — AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today announ­ced that the new Hew­lett Packard Enter­pri­se (HPE) (NYSE: HPE) Pro­Li­ant DL385 Gen10 ser­ver, powered by AMD EPYC™ pro­ces­sors set world records in both SPECrate®2017_fp_base and SPECfp®_rate2006. The secu­re and fle­xi­ble 2P 2U HPE Pro­Li­ant DL385 Gen10 Ser­ver joins the HPE Cloud­li­ne CL3150 ser­ver in fea­turing AMD EPYC pro­ces­sors. With designs ran­ging from 8‑core to 32-core, AMD EPYC deli­vers indus­try-lea­ding memo­ry band­width across the HPE line-up, with eight chan­nels of memo­ry and unpre­ce­den­ted sup­port for inte­gra­ted, high-speed I/O with 128 lanes of PCIe® 3 on every EPYC processor.

“HPE is joi­ning with AMD today to extend the world’s most secu­re indus­try stan­dard ser­ver port­fo­lio to include the AMD EPYC pro­ces­sor. We now give cus­to­mers ano­ther opti­on to opti­mi­ze per­for­mance and secu­ri­ty for today’s vir­tua­li­zed workloads,” said Jus­tin Hotard, vice pre­si­dent and GM, Volu­me Glo­bal Busi­ness Unit, HPE. “The HPE Pro­Li­ant DL385 fea­turing the AMD EPYC pro­ces­sor is the result of a long-stan­ding tech­no­lo­gy enga­ge­ment with AMD and a shared belief in con­ti­nuing innovation.”

AMD EPYC Lea­der­ship Cost-per-VM Ser­ver Configurations

The per­for­mance of AMD EPYC is deli­ver­ed by up to 64-cores in the HPE DL385 2P ser­ver con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on and access to 4 tera­bytes of memo­ry and 128 lanes of PCIe con­nec­ti­vi­ty. The com­bi­na­ti­on of core-count and fea­tures atta­ins up to 50 per­cent lower cost per vir­tu­al machi­ne (VM) HPE sees over tra­di­tio­nal ser­ver solutions.

AMD EPYC-powered HPE Pro­Li­ant DL385 Gen10 World Record Floa­ting Point Performance

  • An AMD EPYC model 7601-based HPE DL385 Gen10 sys­tem scored 257 on SPECrate®2017_fp_base, hig­her than any other two socket sys­tem score published by SPEC®. (1)
  • AMD EPYC model 7601-based HPE DL385 Gen10 sys­tem scored 1980 on SPECfp®_rate2006, hig­her than any other two socket sys­tem score published by SPEC®. (2)

“The HPE DL385 posi­ti­ons the AMD EPYC pro­ces­sor right in the heart of the high-volu­me mar­ket whe­re dual-socket ser­vers are fre­quent­ly deploy­ed by ser­vice pro­vi­ders, lar­ge enter­pri­ses and small-to-medi­um size busi­nesses,” said Matt East­wood, seni­or vice pre­si­dent, enter­pri­se, dat­a­cen­ter and cloud infra­struc­tu­re, IDC. “With its com­bi­na­ti­on of high-per­for­mance cores, memo­ry band­width and PCIe con­nec­ti­vi­ty opti­ons it is an attrac­ti­ve choice to address a wide ran­ge of busi­ness appli­ca­ti­ons and workloads.”

AMD Secu­re Processor

Every EPYC pro­ces­sor inte­gra­tes hard­ware based secu­ri­ty. The Pro­Li­ant DL385 deli­vers unmat­ched secu­ri­ty via the HPE Sili­con Root of Trust enab­ling only vali­da­ted firm­ware to run. The HPE Sili­con Root of Trust is lin­ked to the AMD Secu­re Pro­ces­sor in the AMD EPYC SoC for firm­ware vali­da­ti­on befo­re the ser­ver boots. 

The AMD Secu­re Pro­ces­sor and HPE DL385 also enables:

  • Secu­re Encrypt­ed Memo­ry − All the memo­ry or a por­ti­on of the memo­ry can be encrypt­ed to pro­tect data against memo­ry hacks and scrapes.
  • Secu­re Encrypt­ed Vir­tua­liza­ti­on − VMs have sepa­ra­te encryp­ti­on keys as does the hyper­vi­sor, iso­la­ting the VMs from one ano­ther and from the hyper­vi­sor itself.

“AMD is proud to deli­ver to HPE a superb balan­ce of high-per­for­mance cores, memo­ry, and I/O for opti­mal per­for­mance with AMD EPYC,” said Scott Aylor, Cor­po­ra­te VP and GM Enter­pri­se Busi­ness Unit at Advan­ced Micro Devices.  “With AMD EPYC the HPE Pro­Li­ant DL385 Gen10 can sup­port more vir­tu­al machi­nes per ser­ver, pro­cess more data in par­al­lel, direct­ly access more local sto­rage, while more secu­re­ly pro­tec­ting data in memory.”

Avai­la­bi­li­ty

The HPE Pro­Li­ant DL385 Gen10 ser­ver with AMD EPYC will be available in Decem­ber 2017.

Such state­ments are sub­ject to cer­tain known and unknown risks and uncer­tain­ties, many of which are dif­fi­cult to pre­dict and gene­ral­ly bey­ond AMD’s con­trol, that could cau­se actu­al results and other future events to dif­fer mate­ri­al­ly from tho­se expres­sed in, or impli­ed or pro­jec­ted by, the for­ward-loo­king infor­ma­ti­on and state­ments. Mate­ri­al fac­tors that could cau­se actu­al results to dif­fer mate­ri­al­ly from cur­rent expec­ta­ti­ons include, wit­hout limi­ta­ti­on, the fol­lo­wing: Intel Corporation’s domi­nan­ce of the micro­pro­ces­sor mar­ket and its aggres­si­ve busi­ness prac­ti­ces may limit AMD’s abili­ty to com­pe­te effec­tively; AMD has a wafer sup­p­ly agree­ment with GF with obli­ga­ti­ons to purcha­se all of its micro­pro­ces­sor and APU pro­duct requi­re­ments, and a cer­tain por­ti­on of its GPU pro­duct requi­re­ments, from GLOBALFOUNDRIES Inc. (GF) with limi­t­ed excep­ti­ons. If GF is not able to satis­fy AMD’s manu­fac­tu­ring requi­re­ments, its busi­ness could be adver­se­ly impac­ted; AMD reli­es on third par­ties to manu­fac­tu­re its pro­ducts, and if they are unable to do so on a time­ly basis in suf­fi­ci­ent quan­ti­ties and using com­pe­ti­ti­ve tech­no­lo­gies, AMD’s busi­ness could be mate­ri­al­ly adver­se­ly affec­ted; fail­ure to achie­ve expec­ted manu­fac­tu­ring yields for AMD’s pro­ducts could nega­tively impact its finan­cial results; the suc­cess of AMD’s busi­ness is depen­dent upon its abili­ty to intro­du­ce pro­ducts on a time­ly basis with fea­tures and per­for­mance levels that pro­vi­de value to its cus­to­mers while sup­port­ing and coin­ci­ding with signi­fi­cant indus­try tran­si­ti­ons; if AMD can­not gene­ra­te suf­fi­ci­ent reve­nue and ope­ra­ting cash flow or obtain exter­nal finan­cing, it may face a cash short­fall and be unable to make all of its plan­ned invest­ments in rese­arch and deve­lo­p­ment or other stra­te­gic invest­ments; the loss of a signi­fi­cant cus­to­mer may have a mate­ri­al adver­se effect on AMD; AMD’s receipt of reve­nue from its semi-cus­tom SoC pro­ducts is depen­dent upon its tech­no­lo­gy being desi­gned into third-par­ty pro­ducts and the suc­cess of tho­se pro­ducts; glo­bal eco­no­mic uncer­tain­ty may adver­se­ly impact AMD’s busi­ness and ope­ra­ting results; the mar­kets in which AMD’s pro­ducts are sold are high­ly com­pe­ti­ti­ve; AMD may not be able to gene­ra­te suf­fi­ci­ent cash to ser­vice its debt obli­ga­ti­ons or meet its working capi­tal requi­re­ments; AMD has a lar­ge amount of indeb­ted­ness which could adver­se­ly affect its finan­cial posi­ti­on and pre­vent it from imple­men­ting its stra­tegy or ful­fil­ling its con­trac­tu­al obli­ga­ti­ons; the agree­ments gover­ning AMD’s notes and the Secu­red Revol­ving Line of Cre­dit impo­se rest­ric­tions on AMD that may adver­se­ly affect its abili­ty to ope­ra­te its busi­ness; AMD’s issu­an­ce to West Coast Hitech L.P. (WCH) of war­rants to purcha­se 75 mil­li­on shares of its com­mon stock, if and when exer­cis­ed, will dilute the owner­ship inte­rests of its exis­ting stock­hol­ders, and the con­ver­si­on of the 2.125% Con­ver­ti­ble Seni­or Notes due 2026 may dilute the owner­ship inte­rest of its exis­ting stock­hol­ders, or may other­wi­se depress the pri­ce of its com­mon stock; uncer­tain­ties invol­ving the orde­ring and ship­ment of AMD’s pro­ducts could mate­ri­al­ly adver­se­ly affect it; the demand for AMD’s pro­ducts depends in part on the mar­ket con­di­ti­ons in the indus­tries into which they are sold. Fluc­tua­tions in demand for AMD’s pro­ducts or a mar­ket decli­ne in any of the­se indus­tries could have a mate­ri­al adver­se effect on its results of ope­ra­ti­ons; AMD’s abili­ty to design and intro­du­ce new pro­ducts in a time­ly man­ner is depen­dent upon third-par­ty intellec­tu­al pro­per­ty; AMD depends on third-par­ty com­pa­nies for the design, manu­fac­tu­re and sup­p­ly of mother­boards, soft­ware and other com­pu­ter plat­form com­pon­ents to sup­port its busi­ness; if AMD loses Micro­soft Corporation’s sup­port for its pro­ducts or other soft­ware ven­dors do not design and deve­lop soft­ware to run on AMD’s pro­ducts, its abili­ty to sell its pro­ducts could be mate­ri­al­ly adver­se­ly affec­ted; and AMD’s reli­ance on third-par­ty dis­tri­bu­tors and AIB part­ners sub­jects it to cer­tain risks.  Inves­tors are urged to review in detail the risks and uncer­tain­ties in AMD’s Secu­ri­ties and Exch­an­ge Com­mis­si­on filings, inclu­ding but not limi­t­ed to AMD’s Quar­ter­ly Report on Form 10‑Q for the quar­ter ended Sep­tem­ber 30, 2017.
