AMD to Power TELUS' New Virtual Private Cloud
SUNNYVALE, CA, Apr 17, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
AMD (NYSE: AMD) today announced that TELUS (TSX: T) (TSX: T.A)
(NYSE: TU), a leading Canadian telecommunications company, has chosen
AMD Opteron(TM) processors to power its latest offering, the TELUS
AgilIT Virtual Private Cloud. The TELUS AgilIT Virtual Private Cloud,
announced today, offers AMDs' immense processing capabilities at
outstanding power/performance per-dollar.
TELUS chose AMD Opteron(TM) 6100 Series processors as well as the new
AMD Opteron(TM) 6200 Series processors, which are based on the
high-throughput core formerly codenamed "Bulldozer," to power its
cloud. AMD's high-performance server processors are ideal to help
TELUS deliver computing resources on-demand across three world-class
data centers located in Canada.
"In a data center, performance per-watt per-dollar is the most
important metric used to calculate the true cost of a processor,"
said Tony Krueck, vice president of Business Products and Services,
TELUS. "In our evaluation, our AMD-based servers use less power than
comparable x86 solutions for the same workload, and are dramatically
less expensive. And of course less power requires less cooling,
adding even more savings to the equation. AMD was an obvious and easy
choice."
"AMD Opteron processors are helping TELUS deliver a high performance,
energy-efficient cloud solution," said Vladimir Rozanovich, vice
president, North America Commercial Business, AMD. "AMD server
solutions continue to be recognized by leading cloud providers,
including TELUS, as a superior and efficient choice to deliver the
services their customers demand in a cost effective way."
The TELUS AgilIT Virtual Private Cloud service allows businesses of
all sizes access to on-demand computing resources, with a powerful,
full-featured portal providing 24x7 remote access to their cloud, and
a centralized view of cloud-based activity.
