As organizations rethink their virtualization strategies, many are faced with a complex scenario: higher licensing costs and limitations on operational flexibility. In this context, the combination of 5th Generation AMD EPYC processors and the HPE Morpheus VM Essentials platform emerges as a powerful and efficient alternative for companies looking to reduce costs, simplify their infrastructure, and prepare for the future.
In light of increasingly expensive per-core licensing models on legacy platforms, HPE Morpheus VM Essentials proposes a per-socket scheme that helps avoid overspending and manage clusters in both HPE infrastructures and VMware environments. Additionally, it offers advanced features like high availability, live migration, and disaster recovery, with a smooth upgrade path to HPE Morpheus Enterprise, which is compatible with Kubernetes and multi-cloud orchestration.
According to independent tests conducted by Infobell IT, this solution provides:
- Up to 1.4 times more performance in Java server-side workloads compared to equivalent systems with 64-core Intel Xeon processors.
- Twice the transactions per minute in derived MySQL TPC-C workloads.
- Up to 74% better integer performance per server in 32-core deployments.
- A 40% reduction in the number of servers needed to achieve performance goals (SPECrate®2017_int_base).
- Up to 28% lower total cost of ownership (TCO) over five years and 27% less energy consumption.
With the high core density and energy efficiency of AMD EPYC, organizations can run more virtual machines with fewer physical servers, resulting in lower consumption, less space required, and reduced operating costs.
Additionally, this scalable technology foundation allows for easy growth into hybrid and multi-cloud environments, integrating automation and container capabilities with Kubernetes.
AMD and HPE are committed to smarter virtualization that is adaptable and ready for today’s challenges. For companies looking to optimize their resources without compromising performance or scalability, this solution sets a new standard in the IT infrastructure landscape.
