Two Security Features on 3rd Gen AMD EPYC 7543 Processors Minimally Affected OLTP Performance on a Dell EMC PowerEdge R7525 Server, Principled Technologies Study Says

Durham, NC, March 31, 2021 --(PR.com)-- Principled Technologies (PT) measured the performance impact of AMD Secure Memory Encryption (SME) and AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization - Encrypted State (SEV-ES) on a Dell EMC PowerEdge R6525 server powered by AMD EPYC 7543 processors. The server ran VMware vSphere 7.0 U1 hosting SUSE Enterprise Linux with SQL Server 2019 VMs. PT found that enabling the two features had little effect on a DVD Store 3 online transaction processing workload. After PT enabled the features, the performance of this workload decreased just 1.7 percent.
