Support more VDI users
In a VMware®
Horizon 8 environment, we saw better VDI performance from
a Dell EMC™
PowerEdge™
R7515 server powered by an AMD EPYC™
75F3
processor vs. the same server powered by an AMD EPYC 7542 processor.
Get better MongoDB performance
A cluster of Dell EMC PowerEdge R6515 servers with AMD EPYC 75F3
processors outperformed the same cluster with AMD EPYC 7542 processors
when running big data MongoDB workloads.
Secure and encrypt virtual machines with minimal performance impact
We tested a Dell EMC PowerEdge R6525 server with AMD EPYC 7543 processors
and found that it delivered similar OLTP performance with and without AMD
Secure Encrypted Virtualization - Encrypted State (SEV-ES) and AMD Secure
Memory Encryption (SME) enabled.
