News Sum­ma­ry: 

  • Buil­ding on their mul­ti-year enga­ge­ment, Cis­co and AMD help cus­to­mers boost per­for­mance, secu­ri­ty and automation
  • New Cis­co UCS rack ser­ver models, based on the AMD EPYC™ 7003 Pro­ces­sors, are opti­mi­zed to address workloads requi­ring high input/output (I/O) and core count com­pu­te, and rich memo­ry density
  • Com­bi­ned with the Cis­co Nexus Ultra Low Laten­cy net­wor­king port­fo­lio (form­er­ly Exab­la­ze), Cis­co now offers the lea­ding end-to-end solu­ti­on for High Fre­quen­cy Trading

SAN JOSE, Calif — March 15, 2021 – Cis­co today announ­ced an expan­ded enga­ge­ment with AMD to help busi­nesses acce­le­ra­te advan­ced digi­tal expe­ri­en­ces and impro­ve hybrid cloud operations.

With 55 per­cent of all enter­pri­se on-pre­mi­ses appli­ca­ti­ons deploy­ed on pri­va­te clouds and expec­ta­ti­ons this num­ber will increase to 60 per­cent in two years (Source: IDC’s Cloud Pul­se Q120, March 2020, n=2000), orga­niza­ti­ons are tran­si­tio­ning to new inno­va­tions in sys­tems and manage­ment plat­forms to meet dyna­mic per­for­mance, secu­ri­ty, and sca­le requi­re­ments for hybrid cloud infrastructure.

Cis­co is hel­ping to sol­ve the­se pres­sing chal­lenges by intro­du­cing new Cis­co Uni­fied Com­pu­ting Sys­tem™ (Cis­co UCS®) rack ser­ver models with AMD EPYC™ 7003 Pro­ces­sors desi­gned to sup­port modern workloads.   The new models include the Cis­co UCS C225 M6 and the Cis­co UCS C245 M6 Rack Ser­vers, fur­ther expan­ding Cisco’s AMD-based port­fo­lio intro­du­ced in 2018.

“IT orga­niza­ti­ons are acce­le­ra­ting hybrid cloud adop­ti­on to sup­port busi­ness cri­ti­cal digi­tal initia­ti­ves, and that requi­res a refresh of both their com­pu­te infra­struc­tu­re and their ope­ra­ting model to maxi­mi­ze per­for­mance and lower cos­ts,” said DD Das­gupta, Vice Pre­si­dent of Pro­duct Manage­ment for Cis­co Cloud and Com­pu­te.  “Tog­e­ther with AMD, we are deli­ve­ring sys­tems opti­mi­zed for workloads requi­ring high core counts, inclu­ding cloud and VDI workloads, and mas­si­ve I/O‑intensive workloads such as data ana­ly­tics. Com­bi­ned with the sim­pli­ci­ty of SaaS-mana­ged infra­struc­tu­re, cus­to­mers can impro­ve ope­ra­ti­ons span­ning infra­struc­tu­re, workloads and clouds.”

The new UCS rack ser­ver models uni­que­ly fea­ture nati­ve inte­gra­ti­on with Cis­co Inter­sight, a hybrid cloud plat­form enab­ling simp­ler manage­ment at glo­bal sca­le, and con­ti­nuous SaaS-deli­ver­ed inno­va­tions. Cis­co Inter­sight makes it easier for cus­to­mers to access and deploy inno­va­ti­ve AMD EPYC fea­tures, such as Secu­re Encrypt­ed Virtualization

Lea­der­ship in High Fre­quen­cy Tra­ding Environments

The­se new com­pu­ting opti­ons pair with the Cis­co Nexus Ultra Low Laten­cy (ULL) swit­ching and adap­ter port­fo­lio, based on tech­no­lo­gy acqui­red by Cis­co in its acqui­si­ti­on of Exab­la­ze, to crea­te the industry’s lea­ding end-to-end solu­ti­on for ultra-high per­for­mance com­pu­ting such as High Fre­quen­cy Tra­ding (HFT). The powerful com­bi­na­ti­on of Cis­co and AMD enable invest­ment firms to effi­ci­ent­ly pro­cess hig­her volu­mes of finan­cial tran­sac­tions at fas­ter exe­cu­ti­on speeds com­pared to con­ven­tio­nal solutions.

“We’re exci­ted to expand our enga­ge­ment with Cis­co in sup­port of the launch of EPYC™ 7003 Series pro­ces­sors,” said Ram Ped­dib­hot­la, cor­po­ra­te vice pre­si­dent, EPYC pro­duct manage­ment, AMD. “Cisco’s new EPYC pro­ces­sor-based UCS rack ser­vers and the nati­ve inte­gra­ti­on with Cis­co Inter­sight unlocks the full value of our EPYC pro­ces­sors so cus­to­mers can trans­form their data cen­ter ope­ra­ti­ons to achie­ve bet­ter busi­ness results. Our joint inno­va­tions are fur­ther show­ca­sed in Cisco’s solu­ti­on for High Fre­quen­cy Tra­ding, which pro­vi­des unmat­ched per­for­mance to meet the deman­ding requi­re­ments for this market.”

Avai­la­bi­li­ty

The new ser­vers are plan­ned for gene­ral avai­la­bi­li­ty within the next 90 days.
