SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Supermicro, AMD, and VMware Collaborate to Deliver Unprecedented Performance

for HCI Database Workloads

Super Micro Computer, Inc. (SMCI), a global leader in high-performance

computing, storage, networking solutions, and green computing technology,

announces the first published TPCx-HCI benchmark result, with a measured

performance of 4,790.18 tpsHCI at $49.60/tpsHCI. Working with AMD and VMware,

Supermicro used 3rd Generation AMD EPYC (TM) processor-based servers and VMware

vSphere 7.0 Update 2, setting a world record and demonstrating industry-leading

performance for computational-intensive workloads for Hyper-Converged

Infrastructure (HCI) environments.

"The TPCx-HCI benchmark showcases a total IT solution for HCI workloads and

reflects the fastest and most cost-effective solution for environments where a

vast number of virtual machines are required," said Raju Penumatcha, SVP, and

chief product officer, Supermicro. "Supermicro is committed to delivering

industry-leading solutions based on collaborative work with AMD and VMware to

give our customers total solutions based on the industry's broadest portfolio

of Hyperconverged products including BigTwin (R), FatTwin (R), SuperBlade, and

others that are tuned and optimized to perform under the most demanding

workloads."  

The cluster ran on four Supermicro WIO A+ Servers (model AS -1114S-WN10RT),

each with one AMD EPYC (TM) 7713 processor and 1TB of main memory. Overall, in

the cluster, the processors had a total of 256 cores, with simultaneous

multithreading enabled for a total of 512 threads. The VMs ran the Red Hat

Enterprise Linux 7.7 operating system and PostgreSQL 10.6 database management

system (DBMS).

TPC Express Benchmark HCI (TPCx-HCI) was developed by the Transaction

Processing Performance Council (TPC) for measuring the performance of HCI. The

benchmark measures the performance of HCI clusters under a demanding database

workload. It stresses the virtualized hardware and software of converged

storage, networking, and compute resources of the HCI platform.

"AMD EPYC processors continue to showcase their world record performance

capabilities across a variety of workloads, including HCI," said Raghu Nambiar,

corporate vice president, Data Center Ecosystems and Solutions, AMD. "We're

excited to continue our work with Supermicro to deliver high-performance

systems for their customers while adding another world record to the more than

250 that AMD EPYC processors already hold."

"Over 30,000 VMware customers trust VMware vSphere (R) and vSAN (TM)

hyperconverged infrastructure for their mission-critical workloads; we believe

these leading results are due to the consistent performance built into our

enterprise-grade solution," said Paul Turner, Vice President at VMware. "We are

pleased to jointly certify our HCI software with VMware vSAN ReadyNode (TM)

partners, including Supermicro."
