Scale Computing, an edge computing and network solutions provider, is expanding deployment options for its edge solutions to include support for AMD EPYC and AMD Ryzen AI processors.
SC//HyperCore now supports AMD CPU infrastructure
Scale Computing’s SC//HyperCore virtualization suite version 9.7 adds support for AMD CPU-based infrastructure, expanding support for customers and partners and providing flexibility to deploy Scale Computing edge solutions on AMD CPU-powered systems designed for performance, efficiency, and modern distributed workloads.
This release addresses broader infrastructure and platform choice for organizations modernizing infrastructure at the edge, in the data center, and across distributed enterprise environments – a need for Scale customers and partners.
The Scale and AMD partnership is expanded as a result of this announcement, as the two work to expand infrastructure options for organizations seeking to simplify operations and support emerging AI-enabled workloads closer to where data is generated.
“Customers are asking for more choice, more efficiency, and more flexibility as they modernize virtualization and prepare for AI at the edge,” said Craig Theriac, Vice President of Product Management at Scale Computing.
“With SC//HyperCore virtualization suite version 9.7, we are expanding support for AMD platforms in a way that directly aligns with our mission: making infrastructure simpler to deploy, easier to manage, and more resilient across distributed environments. AMD gives our customers and partners compelling options across compact edge form factors and high-performance rack systems, and this release is an important step forward in our product strategy.”
Technology partners gain virtualization capabilities on AMD systems
This release creates new opportunities for OEMs, ODMs, resellers, and technology partners to deliver AMD-based solutions built around the SC//HyperCore virtualization suite and Scale Computing edge solutions.
“Organizations are increasingly looking for infrastructure that can support virtualization, AI, and distributed operations without adding complexity,” said Derek Dicker, corporate vice president, Enterprise Business Group, AMD. “Our collaboration with Scale Computing gives customers greater flexibility in how they deploy AMD CPU-powered infrastructure, combining AMD’s performance and efficiency with Scale Computing’s simplified approach to managing workloads from the data center to the edge.”
The opportunity for channel partners
For channel partners, the expanded deployment solutions create a differentiated path for helping customers.
The expansion enables resellers to bundle and deliver Scale Computing’s simplified virtualization on compact, power-efficient AMD Ryzen systems at the far edge, or high-performance EPYC rack systems in the data center.
Partners get a highly competitive, scalable path to help clients modernize as a result of the expansion.
Additionally, partners gain high-margin hardware and services revenue by positioning clients for emerging, data-heavy workloads like AI inference, computer vision, and edge analytics.
