For 50 years, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has driven innovation in high-performance computing, graphics, and visualization technologies. Leading Fortune 500 companies, scientific research facilities, and hundreds of millions of consumers rely on AMD technology every day to improve how they live, work, and play.
Always looking for opportunities to advance and transform, AMD recently consolidated close to 20 IT data centers down to a single centralized location in Atlanta, a move that delivered significant cost savings in infrastructure, power, and systems management.
Rabih Mneimneh, IT Manager of Global Virtualization and Remote Computing at AMD, explained the reasons behind the initiative, ”It isn’t only for cost savings, but also to simplify how we do compute, how we do IT, how we do infrastructure, networking, and security. The whole thing is simplified by being in one place. We were able to remove duplication of data, we were able to simplify our connections, and so on.”
However, the move meant that thousands of AMD engineers around the world needed remote connectivity to the Atlanta data center to access their applications.
