IT leaders may overcome budget, capacity, and sustainability challenges with the aid of AMD Nutanix solutions.
AMD Nutanix
Since 2019, AMD Nutanix have collaborated to create virtualization/HCI solutions, collaborating with systems integrators, resellers, and other partners in addition to major OEMs like Dell, HP, and Lenovo.
AMD EPYC CPUs
To help fulfil the demands of a variety of workloads and use cases, the EPYC 9004 family of high performance processors offers up to 128 cores per CPU. When considering retiring older, inefficient servers and replacing them with new ones, high density core counts can help you cut the number of servers you require by up to five to one.
AMD-based systems have the potential to be more energy-efficient than many systems built with competing processors. For instance, compared to 17 2P Intel Xeon Platinum 8490H processor-based servers needed to provide the same performance, 11 2P AMD EPYC 9654 servers running 2000 virtual machines will use up to 29% less power annually while also contributing to a 46% reduction in CAPEX.
Reduced Emissions, Fewer Servers, Less Power, AMD EPYC CPU Data Centre Savings.
Nutanix Solutions: Virtualization and HCI
Nutanix provides software solutions to assist clients in effectively virtualizing their data centers. Storage, networking, and CPUs can all be consolidated into a single, manageable system with Nutanix virtualization and HCI.

AMD Nutanix HCI and virtualization solutions offer high performance processing power and reduce the requirement for GPUs and software license fees by combining infrastructure. You can enable new AI solutions without adding more servers by reducing the footprint of your data Centre through infrastructure consolidation.
You may embrace new AI technologies with the aid of AMD and Nutanix:
The AMD EPYC Server Virtualization & Greenhouse Gas Emission TCO Estimation Tool, version 12.10, was used to estimate the cost and quantity of two AMD 96 core EPYC 9654-powered servers versus two Intel Xeon 60 core Platinum 8490H-based server solutions as of January 18, 2023. This analysis was based on AMD internal analysis and required 2000 virtual machines (VM), each requiring one core and eight gigabytes of memory over a three-year period. The cost of a VMware software license is $6,558.32 per socket, plus an extra program for each additional 32 CPU cores in that socket.
Using the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s “Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator” and the country/region-specific power factors from the “2020 Grid Electricity Emissions Factors v1.4 September 2020,” environmental effect estimations were created using this data.
Although this scenario is based on AMD internal research and best estimations, it involves a lot of assumptions and estimates and should only be used as an example for informational reasons. It should not be used to make decisions about actual testing.
