Principled Technologies Releases Study Comparing the Apache Cassandra

Performance of Clusters Based on AMD EPYC 7601 Processors and

Previous-Generation Intel Processors

In hands-on testing, PT found that a cluster powered by AMD EPYC 7601 processors could provide
more operations per second compared to a cluster based on Intel Xeon processors E5-2699 v4 when
running Apache Cassandra workloads.

Durham, NC, December 21, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Private clouds that run demanding NoSQL applications
such as Apache Cassandra need hardware that can provide strong performance. Principled Technologies
(PT) tested a cluster based on AMD EPYC 7601 processors, and found that it could deliver up to 50
percent more operations per second compared to an Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 processor-powered cluster
when running Apache Cassandra workloads.

According to the report, “Compared to the Intel solution, the AMD solution handled significantly more
Cassandra write operations per second on the same number of servers, which could allow for faster
updates and shorter data load times.”

7601 processor, read the full report at http://facts.pt/2tzC3h and see the infographic at
