    September 30, 2020 AMD EPYC™ Processors Bring Advanced Security Features and High-Performance Capabilities to VMware Customers — VMware vSphere® 7.0U1 adds support for AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization- Encrypted State, enhancing security of data in virtualized environments — — AMD EPYC processors provide up to 2.3x the performance compared to the competition on VMware1 — SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 30, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today highlighted the latest expansion of the AMD EPYC™ processor ecosystem for virtualized and hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) environments with VMware® adding support for AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization-Encrypted State (SEV-ES) in its newest vSphere® release, 7.0U1. With the latest release, VMware vSphere now enables AMD SEV-ES, which is part ofA MD Infinity Guard, a robust set of modern, hardware enabled features found in all 2nd Gen AMD EPYC processors. In addition to VM memory encryption, SEV-ES also provides encryption of CPU registers and provides VMware customers with easy-to-implement and enhanced security for their environments. “As the modern data center continues to evolve into a virtualized, hybrid cloud environment, AMD and VMware are working together to make sure customers have access to systems that provide high levels of performance on virtualization workloads, while enabling advanced security features that are simple to implement for better protection of data,” said Dan McNamara, senior vice president and general manager, Server Business Unit, AMD. “A virtualized data center with AMD EPYC processors and VMware enables customers to modernize the data center and have access to high-performance and leading-edge security features, across a wide variety of OEM platforms.” “In a virtualized environment, it is critical to have protection of data not only from other virtual machines, but the hypervisor itself.

  • Oracle Database Scalability in Vmware® ESX Vmware ESX 3.5
    Performance Study Oracle Database Scalability in VMware® ESX VMware ESX 3.5 Database applications running on individual physical servers represent a large consolidation opportunity. However enterprises considering such consolidation want guidance as to how well databases scale using virtualization. Database workloads are often provisioned on systems with much higher CPU and memory configurations than required by their average utilization. This is most commonly driven by the need for “headroom”—because database workloads are hard to migrate to a larger system, administrators often select a system much larger than immediately required in order to ensure that there will be sufficient capacity for peak portions of the workload and to allow for future growth. As a result, the utilization of dedicated database systems is often less than 20 percent of available CPU. For example, when studying over 2,000 four‐way Oracle database instances, the average utilization was found to be 4.92 percent (from data captured by VMware Capacity Planner, June 2006). In addition, today’s multisocket, multicore systems, with high memory capacity and bandwidth, multiple high‐speed network connections, and numerous high‐performance storage options provide computing resources that are difficult to fully utilize with a single database instance. As a result, there is ample opportunity to consolidate several database instances onto a single server. The tests presented in this paper demonstrate that when scaling out (that is, increasing the number of virtual machines on one physical server) the performance of the Oracle database workloads in each virtual machine remain similar to the performance of the Oracle database workload in a single virtual machine on the same host while ESX CPU utilization scales in a nearly linear fashion.
