AMD EPYC CPUs Now Power SAP Applications Hosted on Google Cloud

Cri­ti­cal SAP Busi­ness Suite workloads now run on AMD EPYC pro­ces­sor-powered Goog­le Cloud N2D offe­ring, deli­ve­ring impres­si­ve per­for­mance and ener­gy efficiency

SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) announ­ced that SAP has cho­sen AMD EPYC™ pro­ces­sor-powered Goog­le Cloud N2D vir­tu­al machi­nes (VMs) to run its cloud ERP deli­very ope­ra­ti­ons for RISE with SAP; fur­ther incre­asing adop­ti­on of AMD EPYC for cloud-based workloads. As enter­pri­ses look toward digi­tal moder­niza­ti­on, many are adop­ting cloud-first archi­tec­tures to com­ple­ment their on-pre­mi­ses data cen­ters. AMD, Goog­le Cloud and SAP can help cus­to­mers achie­ve their most strin­gent per­for­mance goals while deli­ve­ring on ener­gy effi­ci­en­cy, sca­la­bi­li­ty and resour­ce uti­liza­ti­on needs.

AMD EPYC pro­ces­sors offer excep­tio­nal per­for­mance as well as robust secu­ri­ty fea­tures, and ener­gy effi­ci­ent solu­ti­ons for enter­pri­se workloads in the cloud. RISE with SAP helps maxi­mi­ze cus­to­mer invest­ments in cloud infra­struc­tu­re and, pai­red with AMD EPYC pro­ces­sors and Goog­le Cloud N2D VMs, aims to moder­ni­ze cus­to­mer data cen­ters and trans­form data into actionable insights, faster.

AMD powers some of the most per­for­mant and ener­gy effi­ci­ent cloud ins­tances available in the world today,” said Dan McNa­ma­ra, seni­or vice pre­si­dent and gene­ral mana­ger, Ser­ver Busi­ness Unit, AMD. “As part of our enga­ge­ment with Goog­le Cloud and SAP, SAP has sel­ec­ted AMD EPYC CPU-powered N2D ins­tances to host its Busi­ness Suite enter­pri­se soft­ware workloads. This decis­i­on by SAP deli­vers the per­for­mance and per­for­mance-per-dol­lar of EPYC pro­ces­sors to cus­to­mers loo­king to moder­ni­ze their data cen­ters and stream­li­ne IT spen­ding by acce­le­ra­ting time to value on their enter­pri­se applications.”

As part of our RISE with SAP initia­ti­ve, we have made a stra­te­gic decis­i­on to add AMD EPYC pro­ces­sor powered N2D ins­tances in Goog­le Cloud to run mis­si­on cri­ti­cal workloads for our enter­pri­se cloud cus­to­mers.” said Lalit Patil, CTO, SAP Enter­pri­se Cloud Ser­vices, SAP SE. “Our engi­nee­ring col­la­bo­ra­ti­on with AMD and Goog­le Cloud can result in an increase in per­for­mance and per­for­mance-per-dol­lar over com­pa­ra­ble instances.”

Our col­la­bo­ra­ti­on with AMD and SAP deli­vers a sca­lable and per­for­mant solu­ti­on for our joint cus­to­mers see­king to move their workloads to the cloud,” said Mark Loh­mey­er, vice pre­si­dent and gene­ral mana­ger of Com­pu­te at Goog­le Cloud. “Goog­le Cloud N2D VMs, powered by AMD EPYC pro­ces­sors, are hel­ping us deli­ver impres­si­ve pri­ce-per­for­mance for SAP Busi­ness Suite workloads.”
