3.5X increase in processing power and over 2X increase in memory throughput with Ocient on AMD Technologies
Ocient, a leader in data analytics software solutions, has announced a strategic collaboration with AMD to drive higher performance, lower costs, and maximize efficiency for compute-intensive AI and data workloads. This partnership integrates Ocient’s advanced software solutions with the high-performance 4th Gen AMD EPYC™ processors, delivering a 3.5X boost in processing power and over 2X increase in memory throughput* for enterprises leveraging the Ocient Hyperscale Data Warehouse™ across on-premises, public cloud, or OcientCloud® environments.
With global data center energy consumption expected to more than double by 2026 due to escalating AI and data analytics demands, organizations are actively seeking innovative solutions to optimize resource utilization and minimize operational costs. By harnessing the core density and power efficiencies of 4th Gen AMD EPYC processors, Ocient empowers businesses to:
- Achieve 3X greater performance for compute-intensive workloads
- Reduce operational costs through enhanced power and energy efficiency, resulting in a 3X reduction in power consumption per core
- Scale seamlessly to meet future AI and analytics needs
“As data centers grapple with increasing demand and energy constraints, efficiencies delivered through hardware and software innovations are critically important for addressing the needs of large-scale data analytics,” said Kumaran Siva, corporate vice president, Strategic Business Development, AMD. “We’re pleased to collaborate with Ocient to bring the performance of AMD EPYC processors together with Ocient’s efficient software solutions, enabling enterprises to better handle their most demanding AI and analytics workloads with ease and efficiency.”
