3.5X increase in processing power and over 2X increase in memory throughput with Ocient on AMD Technologies

CHICAGO: Ocient, the leading data analytics software solutions company, today announced a collaboration with AMD to boost performance, lower costs, and maximize the efficiency of compute-intensive data and AI workloads. The technology partnership, which brings Ocient’s efficient and differentiated software solutions together with highly performant 4th Gen AMD EPYC™ processors, will deliver a 3.5X increase in processing power and more than 2X increase in memory throughput* for customers leveraging the Ocient Hyperscale Data Warehouse™ for large-scale data analytics and AI on-premises, public cloud, or OcientCloud®.

With global data center energy consumption projected to more than double by 2026 due to increasing AI and data analytics demands, enterprises are increasingly seeking solutions that can help alleviate the pressures on their data centers through efficiencies delivered at the hardware and software layers. Ocient's innovative approach, leveraging the advanced core density and power efficiencies of 4th Gen AMD EPYC processors, enables organizations deploying Ocient to achieve -

• 3X better performance for compute-intensive workloads;
• reduced operational costs through improved power and energy efficiency, delivering a 3X reduction in power consumption per core;
• sustained scalability for 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.”

Unlike traditional software licensing models which incentivize overprovisioning and inefficient resource utilization, Ocient’s core-based licensing model prioritizes cost efficiency and the performance of compute-intensive workloads. Combined with AMD hardware, Ocient Hyperscale Data Warehouse™ (OHDW) capabilities enable organizations to achieve more with less through innovations including -

• Compute Adjacent Storage Architecture™ (CASA) - Removes network bottlenecks and facilitates rapid data access;
• Zero Copy Reliability™ - Ensures data reliability without replication through parity coding;
• Ocient Megalane™ - Delivers exceptional throughput by enabling an extreme number of parallel tasks.

"AI and compute-intensive data analytics workloads are placing immense pressures on data centers around the globe, meaning efficiencies delivered by hardware and software are essential for enterprise data growth, performance, and costs," said Chris Gladwin, CEO of Ocient. "We’re thrilled to work with AMD to drive increased customer data performance, cost savings, and operational and energy efficiency.”
