AMD Ryzen & EPYC processors through SCCAMD Ryzen and EPYC processors through SCC
Why it matters
AMD Ryzen processors deliver high single-threaded performance for workstations and productivity systems. EPYC processors target server and data centre workloads, with security capabilities built in at the silicon level rather than layered on through software. Both architectures aim to reduce the management overhead of running secure infrastructure at scale.
SCC procures, configures and deploys both Ryzen and EPYC systems for UK organisations, integrating processor selection into broader infrastructure planning.
Insights and case studies
FAQs
Does AMD silicon include processor-level security?
Yes. Both Ryzen and EPYC include security capabilities implemented at the silicon level, including memory encryption and isolation features, designed to reduce the burden on operating system and application-level controls. AMD publishes the specific feature set per processor generation; SCC can map these to specific compliance and security objectives during architecture review.
How long does an AMD-based deployment take?
It depends on scale, refresh approach and integration complexity.
Can SCC migrate workloads from a different processor platform?
Yes. SCC manages processor migration including workload assessment, compatibility validation, infrastructure planning and staged deployment. Migration scope and approach depend on the source platform and the workloads involved.
What does buying AMD through SCC add over buying direct?
Direct procurement gives you the hardware and AMD’s standard support. SCC adds the deployment-side work – sizing, integration with existing infrastructure, configuration, ongoing support – and lifecycle management across the AMD estate. The added value is in execution, not the chip itself.
