"Value Cloud" as a "unique choice" for many customers

Many governments and companies around the world are vigorously implementing cloud computing practices, and Gartner predicts that the global cloud computing market will reach $126 billion trillion by 2012. 2013 Cloud services growth accounted for one-third of IT industry, 2014 Global Cloud computing Services revenue will reach 148.8 billion U.S. dollars. With the cloud computing tide, the user's attitude towards cloud computing is gradually becoming rational, "cloud" began to fall, the value of cloud computing began to highlight.

In recent years, in the field of cloud computing, manufacturers are all out of the effort, in which a "hero behind the scenes" has gradually become the focus of the industry. With his unique concept, innovative technology and close partner camp, he firmly drives the global cloud computing and has received wide support and recognition from the industry. Whether it is Microsoft, Facebook and other international well-known enterprises, or domestic cities such as Beijing, Chengdu, Chongqing, such as the construction process, there is his figure. He is the global chip leading manufacturer AMD.

The main factor in the success of AMD in cloud computing is the idea of a "value cloud" based on customer demand, in addition to its renowned innovation technology, which makes it the first choice for the cloud core of many customers (core of cloud). The core of "value Cloud" is to start from the customer's actual demand, to innovative products and technology, to provide customers with "customized" cloud, with partners to innovate, build a cloud computing "value ecosystem" for customers "tailored" cloud applications, the ultimate realization of the whole industry chain of "cloud value." At present, more than 2 million AMD processors have been applied to various cloud computing environments around the world.

The "unique" of many cloud data centers

Microsoft's Azure Cloud Computing Center in Chicago uses container mode to pursue optimal energy efficiency (PUE). According to the test, AMD's efficient energy-saving processor enables the system to achieve the best energy efficiency per watt, while maximizing density, each 2-way server optimized power consumption of 150W, while the traditional 2-way server power consumption of 350W, nuclear density from the traditional maximum of 4 processors/1u to 5 processor/1u.

Facebook's data center uses AMD's energy-efficient 8-core processors for its existing memcached applications, increasing its memory bandwidth by 30%, increasing its capacity by 25%, and dramatically reducing latency.

Shanda Games in its large-scale network game "star Change" in the use of "AMD Hao long TM4000 series platform" of it operation system. Its IT base operations platform has a 200% higher support capability than the initial test, a 30% increase in operational efficiency and a 50% reduction in operating costs.

In addition, such as the Shanghai Shuguang Center, Chengdu Cloud Base, Huada gene from the government, finance, telecommunications, bio-pharmaceutical, Internet, many industries and areas of customers, all in AMD's "Value Cloud" has been the value of their respective needs. So where is the secret of AMD value cloud?

Cloud Secrets behind the customer's "unique"

AMD each product is focused on scientific and technological content and customer demand, and through with partners to build cloud computing eco-chain to create value for customers.

First, AMD's "Value Cloud" has a solid technology and high-quality products for the backing, which is the reason many customers choose AMD.

AMD is the industry leader in supporting fast, efficient virtualization capabilities for x86 computer development, such as energy-efficient, multi-core processors, advanced memory access, and hardware-based virtualization technologies. AMD Hao Long processors support running more virtual machines on one server, increasing the consolidation rate, which is equivalent to reducing server acquisition costs, operating costs, electricity tariffs, and data center footprint.

AMD offers the industry's only 16-core x86 processor. The more kernels you have, the more powerful the performance, which enables you to efficiently run many virtual machines (VMS), efficiently handle cloud, virtualization, and High-performance Computing (HPC) applications, and handle demanding database and infrastructure workloads. The revolutionary products of AMD's Bulldozer (bulldozer) and Hao long processor support the cloud architecture through open platform architecture, multi-core high-density computing, virtualization technology, and superior low energy performance.

AMD delivers a strong, balanced computing solution for HPC customers and partners around the world by continuing technology leadership in High-performance Computing (HPC) solutions and a core x86 server processor architecture.

Second, AMD also through industrial cooperation and other means to build value ecosystems, support the landing of cloud computing. AMD and Chengdu, Wuxi and other areas of cloud computing Center in the field of cloud computing in-depth cooperation. At the same time, AMD also actively with the cloud industry chain of other enterprises to work together to build cloud computing industry chain, to promote the popularity of cloud applications. HP, Microsoft, Dell, Lenovo, Dawning, VMware, Microsoft, telecom operators, financial institutions, efficient and scientific institutions, and local governments have developed close partnerships with AMD in the cloud building and future applications.

Third, AMD has a clearer understanding of the needs of enterprise customers, so has been committed to creating a more flexible framework for customers to adapt, through efficient, flexible overall solution to meet customer demand for lower total cost of ownership.
