GOLDEN, CO / ACCESSWIRE / February 22, 2018 / Demartek, an independent computer industry analyst firm with its own computer test lab, announced that it has evaluated Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) Cloudline CL3150 Gen10 servers powered by AMD EPYC™ processors for cloud solutions.
"To test this cloud deployment solution, we chose the Yahoo Cloud Serving Benchmark (YCSB) running across a three-node cluster of HPE Cloudline CL3150 servers using AMD EPYC processors, connected via Mellanox® 100GbE infrastructure. We deployed Excelero NVMesh® to configure the cluster so that all the compute was performed on one node, and all the NVMe storage was accessed over the 100GbE network from the other nodes," said Dennis Martin, Demartek President. "In our tests, we found that the 99th percentile latency for all workloads and database sizes was less than one millisecond and the minimum latencies were below 100 microseconds. In our opinion, the AMD EPYC processor with its support for 128 PCIe 3.0 lanes and the HPE Cloudline CL3150 Gen10 server seem particularly suited for building high performance and resilient cloud solutions."
