FOOTNOTES

1. 4-node, 2x EPYC™ 7742 processor powered cluster with a score of 24.08@ 28 tiles on the VMmark® 3.1.1 benchmark using vSAN (https://www.vmware.com/content/dam/digitalmarketing/vmware/en/pdf/vmmark/2020-04-28-DellEMC-PowerEdge-R6525.pdf) delivers 2.27x the performance and 2.33x the tile/VM workload capacity than the VMmark® 3.1.1 vSAN performance of a 4-node, 2x Intel Xeon Platinum 8268 processor powered cluster with a score of 10.63@12 tiles(https://www.vmware.com/content/dam/digitalmarketing/vmware/en/pdf/vmmark/2020-06-30-Supermicro-SYS-2029BT-HNR.pdf) as of 06/08/20. ROM-737

2. 4-node, 2x EPYC 7F72 processor powered cluster (192 total cores) with a score of 13.27@ 14 tiles on the VMmark® 3.1.1 benchmark using vSAN™ (https://www.vmware.com/content/dam/digitalmarketing/vmware/en/pdf/vmmark/2020-04-14-DellEMC-PowerEdge-R6525.pdf) delivers 24.8% more performance with a 16.7% higher tile/VM workload capacity than the VMmark® 3.1 vSAN performance of a 4-node, 2x Intel Xeon Platinum 8268 processor powered cluster (192 total cores) with a score of 10.63@12 tiles (https://www.vmware.com/content/dam/digitalmarketing/vmware/en/pdf/vmmark/2020-06-30-Supermicro-SYS-2029BT-HNR.pdf) as of 06/08/20. ROM-732

3. A one processor AMD EPYC 7702P powered server solution has an estimated 56% lower 3-yr virtualization TCO than a with two processor Intel Gold 6250 server solution to deliver 320 VMs. Estimates based on AMD Server Virtualization TCO (total cost of ownership) Estimator tool v5.5, comparing the AMD EPYC™ and Intel® Xeon® server solutions required to deliver 320 total virtual machines (VM), requiring 1 core and 8GB of memory per VM, with a minimum total solution memory requirement of 2.56 TB of memory. The analysis includes both hardware and virtualization software components. For 320 VMs and 1 core per VM, the Intel _Gold_6250 processor requires 20 - 2P servers. The AMD EPYC_7702P solution requires 5 - 1P servers. Virtualization software pricing as of October 2019.
