Powering Scalable Public Sector Solutions

Today’s public sector infrastructure is under unprecedented pressure. Alongside that pressure is tremendous opportunity to create new operational efficiencies, economic opportunities, and highly effective public services. The landscape is characterized by these key trends.

Strain on Existing Infrastructure

Population growth, cyberthreats, climate change, and other factors are increasing the strain on infrastructure. Digital transformation initiatives—from HPC, to AI, and more—offer opportunities to improve essential public services.

Workforce Crisis

The public sector is grappling with a significant workforce crisis, driven by an aging workforce, high levels of burnout, and widening skills gaps. Digital transformation and automation can help bridge these gaps.

Emergence of AI

Generative AI presents a transformative opportunity, offering potential for increased efficiency. It also brings challenges—cyberthreats, misinformation, and ethics considerations. In response, leaders must establish robust regulatory guidelines and foster a culture of transparency.

General IT

AMD EPYC™ Processors

AMD EPYC™ server processor-based solutions deliver leadership performance for key enterprise workloads, holding a variety of world records across Database and Analytics, HCI and Virtualization, and more. AMD EPYC processors also power the most energy-efficient x86 servers in the game. For example, running 2000 VMs on 11 2P AMD EPYC 9654 processor-powered servers will use up to 29% less power annually than the 17 2P Intel® Xeon™ Platinum 8490H processor-based servers required to deliver the same performance, while helping reduce CAPEX up to 46%.1 Each EPYC processor also comes with AMD Infinity Guard, a full suite of advanced security features to help keep data protected.2

  1. SP5TCO-036: As of 01/18/2023 based on AMD Internal analysis using the AMD EPYC™ Server Virtualization & Greenhouse Gas Emission TCO Estimation Tool - version 12.10 estimating the cost and quantity of 2P AMD 96 core EPYC™ 9654 powered server versus 2P Intel® Xeon® 60 core Platinum 8490H based server solutions required to deliver 2000 total virtual machines (VM), requiring 1 core and 8GB of memory per VM for a 3-year period. This includes VMware software license cost of $6,558.32 per socket + one additional software for every 32 CPU core increment in that socket.
    Environmental impact estimates made leveraging this data, using the Country / Region specific electricity factors from the '2020 Grid Electricity Emissions Factors v1.4 – September 2020', and the United States Environmental Protection Agency 'Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator'.
    This scenario contains many assumptions and estimates and, while based on AMD internal research and best approximations, should be considered an example for information purposes only, and not used as a basis for decision making over actual testing. For additional details, see https://www.amd.com/en/claims/epyc4#SP5TCO-036.
