EPYC enables up to six dedicated GPUs in a single-socket server with peer-to-peer communication through the CPU. Two-socket and/or PCI switches are no longer needed to get the lanes required to achieve this level of GPU density.
With EPYC's 128 PCI-E lanes, you no longer need two sockets to get the high-bandwidth PCI lanes to allow dense NVMe storage solutions. You can also attach up to 32 SATA devices without the cost of an HBA.
EPYC provides no-compromise one-socket servers with more I/O and/or memory capacity that was only previously available in two-socket architectures. It allows you to buy only what you need to support your enterprise business application requirements. No more second sockets need to go unused.
A dedicated security processor in the EPYC SoC minimizes potential attack surfaces and protects your software and data as it is booted, as it runs and as it moves from server to server.
- AMD Secure Root-of-Trust Technology: Executes only the software you intend to run.
- AMD Secure Run Technology: Encrypts data in the main memory and provides cryptographic isolation from other virtual machines, tenants—and even the hypervisor itself.
- AMD Secure Move Technology: Allows you to securely migrate virtual machines (VMs).
