AMD, SAP, and Google Cloud Collaborate to Enhance Cloud ERP Delivery Operations

AMD has recently announced that SAP has selected AMD EPYC processor-powered Google Cloud N2D virtual machines (VMs) to run its cloud ERP delivery operations for RISE with SAP. This collaboration further promotes the adoption of AMD EPYC processors for cloud-based workloads. As businesses focus on digital modernization, many are embracing cloud-first architectures to complement their on-premises data centers. By leveraging the power of AMD EPYC processors, Google Cloud, and SAP, customers can achieve their performance goals while ensuring energy efficiency, scalability, and resource utilization.

The AMD EPYC processors offer exceptional performance, robust security features, and energy-efficient solutions for enterprise workloads in the cloud. RISE with SAP aims to maximize customer investments in cloud infrastructure and, when combined with AMD EPYC processors and Google Cloud N2D VMs, facilitates the modernization of customer data centers and enables faster transformation of data into actionable insights. Dan McNamara, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Server Business Unit at AMD, stated, "AMD powers some of the most performant and energy-efficient cloud instances available in the world today. As part of our engagement with Google Cloud and SAP, SAP has selected AMD EPYC CPU-powered N2D instances to host its Business Suite enterprise software workloads. This decision by SAP delivers the performance and performance-per-dollar of EPYC processors to customers looking to modernize their data centers and streamline IT spending by accelerating time to value on their enterprise applications."

Lalit Patil, CTO of SAP Enterprise Cloud Services at SAP SE, added, "As part of our RISE with SAP initiative, we have made a strategic decision to add AMD EPYC processor-powered N2D instances in Google Cloud to run mission-critical workloads for our enterprise cloud customers. Our engineering collaboration with AMD and Google Cloud can result in an increase in performance and performance-per-dollar over comparable instances."

Mark Lohmeyer, Vice President and General Manager of Compute at Google Cloud, emphasized the scalability and performance of the solution, stating, "Our collaboration with AMD and SAP delivers a scalable and performant solution for our joint customers seeking to move their workloads to the cloud.
