NTT DATA Deploys AMD EPYC Processors, Boosts Performance for its Financial Systems

AMD EPYCTM pro­ces­sors deli­ver pri­ce-per­for­mance advan­ta­ge and high core den­si­ty for NTT DATA cus­to­mers and finan­cial services –

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — March 26, 2019 —AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) and NTT DATA, a reco­gni­zed lea­der in glo­bal tech­no­lo­gy ser­vices, today announ­ced the deploy­ment of AMD EPYCTM pro­ces­sors in NTT DATA’s dat­a­cen­ter. NTT DATA is boos­ting its Cre­dit and Finan­cial Infor­ma­ti­on Sys­tem (CAFIS) sys­tem, a com­pre­hen­si­ve cloud-based pay­ment plat­form, by intro­du­cing AMD EPYC processors.

By deploy­ing the hig­her core counts, I/O and memo­ry band­width of EPYC pro­ces­sors, NTT DATA has increased its over­all ser­ver per­for­mance across vir­tu­al envi­ron­ments and its CAFIS sys­tem. AMD EPYC pro­ces­sors have also impac­ted NTT DATA’s inter­nal stake­hol­ders through sup­port of their vir­tu­al desk­top infra­struc­tu­re (VDI), hel­ping deli­ver remo­te access to more than 200 deve­lo­pers and engineers.

Thanks to AMD EPYC pro­ces­sors, we are able to con­nect more than 120 cre­dit com­pa­nies and 1,600 ban­king cen­ters through our CAFIS sys­tem with excel­lent per­for­mance and relia­bi­li­ty,” said Mino­ru Yoshi­za­wa, Sub Mana­ger, NTT DATA Finan­cial Core. “The uni­que sin­gle-socket design offers distinct pri­ce-per­for­mance advan­ta­ges for NTT DATA and our cus­to­mers. We look for­ward to brin­ging the­se advan­ta­ges to other appli­ca­ti­ons with addi­tio­nal deploy­ments of AMD EPYC pro­ces­sors,” Said Sato­shi Hagi­noya, Sub Mana­ger of Cards & Pay­ments Ser­vices, NTT DATA.

The CAFIS brand covers a set of pay­ment-rela­ted ser­vices that NTT DATA has been pro­vi­ding for over 30 years as one of the lar­gest pay­ment infra­struc­tures in Japan. “CAFIS Arch” is a cloud-based com­pre­hen­si­ve pay­ment plat­form which pro­vi­des pay­ment func­tions as well as inbound func­tions and sup­ple­men­ta­ry func­tions for various pay­ment terminals.

We are thril­led that NTT DATA is adding AMD EPYC sin­gle-socket pro­ces­sors to sup­port its finan­cial cloud-based plat­form ser­vices to start. The EPYC pro­ces­sor pro­vi­des more cores and more memo­ry band­width than the com­pe­ti­ti­on, and out­stan­ding sta­bi­li­ty – a gre­at fit for NTT DATA’s vir­tu­al workloads and cloud appli­ca­ti­ons,” said Scott Aylor, cor­po­ra­te vice pre­si­dent and gene­ral mana­ger, AMD dat­a­cen­ter solutions.

NTT Data is lever­aging the sin­gle-socket per­for­mance of the AMD EPYC7551P and EPYC7351P pro­ces­sors on a Tyan ser­ver plat­form for their new systems.
