LIQID, DELL TECHNOLOGIES, AND AMD POWER THE INDUSTRY’SFASTEST NO-COMPROMISE ONE-SOCKET SERVERSOverview:IT organizations across the globe face budget and space constraints. Thesechallenges are worsened by poor server utilization. Those same data centers are nowdemanding high-performance, one-socket servers designed to increase utilizationand lower acquisition expenditures and total cost of ownership (TCO).Enter AMD EPYC 7002 Series Processors: the company’s next-generation multichipmicroprocessor architecture designed to help lower TCO and enable organizationsto right-size for key application workloads without feature compromise. Sinceits release, the AMD EPYC 7002 Series have set over 140 world records inperformance* and have steadily gained market share in the data center.AMD EPYC 7002 Series powered solutions like the Dell Technologies PowerEdgeR7515 one-socket rack server provides up to 64 cores and PCIe 4.0 connectivityunlocking capabilities and unmatched performance previously not available,delivering a powerful out-of-box solution for the most demanding data centerenvironments.To provide enhanced solutions that further maximize application performance fordata-intensive workloads, Liqid has partnered with Dell Technologies and AMDto deliver the fastest single socket storage solution on the market today. Liqid’scomposable Gen4 fabric technology deployed with the AMD EPYC 7002 Series, andpowered by Dell Technologies R7515 server delivers the ideal architecture for nextgeneration, AI-driven, and HPC application environments.The platform from Liqid, Dell Technologies, and AMD empowers users to deployserver systems with the highest compute and storage performance for core datacenters as workflows and business needs constantly scale. The Dell TechnologiesR7515 powered by AMD EPYC 7002 Series and Liqid LQD4500 Gen4 NVMe SSDenables users to dynamically right-size their IT resources by delivering unmatchedperformance from a single socket server.*“AMD EPYC Processor World Records,” Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. www.amd.com/worldrecords (accessed March 18, 2020)LIQID LQD4500, DELL AND AMD 2PROPRIETARY
LIQID, DELL TECHNOLOGIES, AND AMD POWER THE INDUSTRY’SFASTEST NO-COMPROMISE ONE-SOCKET SERVERSSetup:The Dell Technologies PowerEdge R7515 Rack Server is equipped with 2x Gen4 PCIeslots. In order to fully utilize these high-performance Gen4 PCIe slots, it is importantto deploy the fastest Gen4 PCIe devices available. Using Gen4 PCIe storage deviceslike the LQD4500 that enable / deliver 2x-3x the storage performance compared toother NVMe SSDs enables system designers and solutions architects to use theremaining Gen4 PCIe slots for additional high-performance devices.The performance results outlined below were generated with a single socketAMD CPU, single Liqid NVMe SSD, in a single Dell Server. Single Socket – SingleSSD – Single Server Unlimited Performance. The hardware leveraged for thisbenchmarking includes:Dell Technologies: The Dell Technologies R7515 is a single-socket 2U serverdesigned to handle workloads like software-defined storage, virtualization and dataanalytics. The server is built upona scalable system architectureand provides choice and flexibilityto meet performance demands.AMD EPYC 7002 Series Processors: Utilizing the x86-architecture and built on7nm technology, the AMD EPYC 7002 Series of processors bring together up to 64cores, 4TB memory capacity, support for 8 channels of DDR43200, and 128 lanes of PCIE Gen4 I/O per socket, the AMDEPYC 7002 Series has been engineered for data centers thatrely on CPU performance. From HPC workloads such as oil andgas exploration, to in-memory databases, to big data analytics tostandard data center applications, highly parallel workloads have more cores towork with.Liqid:The Liqid Element LQD4500 PCIe Add-In-Card(AIC), aka “The Honey Badger,” is a full-height-fulllength (FHFL), high storage capacity and extremeperformance for mission critical and performancedemanding workloads delivering over 24GBs and 3MIOPS of performance. This makes the Element LQD4500 ideal for deployment in highmemory enterprise applications.LIQID LQD4500, DELL AND AMD 3PROPRIETARY
