Across industries like healthcare, government, finance and tech, data centers are under pressure. Organizations relying on legacy systems find themselves constrained by aging infrastructure that wasn’t built for modern workloads. From virtualization and storage to analytics and application hosting, general workloads are demanding more performance, better energy efficiency and greater scalability than traditional hardware can deliver.
These growing pains hinder agility and leave IT teams wrestling with technical debt. And with operational demands and data volumes only increasing, the case for modernization is no longer optional—it’s urgent.
Today’s general workloads need next-generation power. AMD’s 5th Gen EPYC CPUs and Instinct MI300 Series GPUs deliver just that—offering cutting-edge architecture, higher core counts and improved performance-per-watt for scalable efficiency. These technologies empower organizations to boost throughput, reduce latency, and manage workloads with fewer physical servers.
AMD EPYC processors deliver superior virtualization support, memory bandwidth and workload consolidation potential, while Instinct GPUs bring massive parallel processing for compute-heavy applications like real-time analytics and AI inference. Together, they offer a future-ready platform to take on increasingly diverse and dynamic data center workloads.
Organizations deploying AMD-based solutions are also seeing improvements in reliability and security. The 5th Gen EPYC processors feature built-in encryption capabilities and advanced security features that help mitigate risks across data-heavy environments.
Meanwhile, the MI300 GPUs are designed to support the high-speed interconnects and memory needed to tackle demanding workloads without compromising performance. This results in reduced bottlenecks, optimized energy usage, and higher workload density.
Modernizing a data center isn’t just about raw performance—it’s about agility and long-term value. AMD’s portfolio enables organizations to consolidate infrastructure, shrink their physical footprint, and reduce power consumption, all while increasing compute capacity.
