Revolutionizing Healthcare with AMD EPYC™ Server CPUs

Solving the Challenges of Today and Tomorrow

Healthcare institutions are under pressure. Pressure to perform. Pressure to maintain services. Pressure to exceed expectations.

Infrastructure now goes far beyond supporting day-to-day operations. It directly influences diagnostic speed, service resilience, clinical responsiveness and patient outcomes.

From systems that schedule appointments and house patient data, to insurance platforms managing claims, medical imaging workflows, virtualization, genomics, drug discovery, and AI-enabled diagnostics, the demand for high-performance computing and AI-ready infrastructure across healthcare is only growing.

Modern healthcare environments are also becoming increasingly hybrid; core systems often remain on-premises, while analytics, AI training, research workloads, and edge-enabled care expand across cloud and distributed environments.

With so many challenges to solve, the healthcare industry needs technology it can rely on, whatever the ask. AMD EPYC™ server CPUs help healthcare organizations meet today’s infrastructure demands while preparing for the AI-driven workloads of tomorrow.

AMD EPYC Server CPUs: Supporting Digital Healthcare

AMD EPYC server CPUs offer astounding performance, efficiency and the security required to support modern healthcare.

5th Gen AMD EPYC server CPUs are designed for AI and critical business workloads, offering up to 192 cores, up to 384 threads, up to 128 PCIe® 5.0 lanes, 12 DDR5-6000 memory channels, up to 6TB of memory and up to 384MB L3 cache.

For healthcare organizations, these capabilities matter because infrastructure is no longer judged on raw compute performance alone. Providers are increasingly focused on improving workload density, reducing infrastructure complexity, accelerating time-to-insight and scaling AI-enabled services without unnecessary infrastructure investment.

That’s especially important as healthcare AI environments evolve. Medical imaging, predictive analytics, genomics pipelines, AI-assisted diagnostics and operational modeling all place new demands on servers, which is why efficiency also matters.

For organizations facing space, power or cooling limitations, more efficient infrastructure helps extend existing datacenter capacity while supporting growing compute demand.

Compounding performance and efficiency is the level of security healthcare organizations require to protect sensitive patient data. Read how AMD Infinity Guard™ provides a suite of security features designed to help protect data and support confidence across enterprise environments.¹

When it comes to healthcare, each of these elements that makes AMD EPYC server CPUs such an appealing option becomes vital; exceptional performance to drive greater results for the company and the patient, high efficiency that can lower overall energy consumption costs, and security features that help guard patient records and other sensitive data.

Solving Real Global Healthcare Challenges

UZ Brussel, a Flemish-speaking hospital connected to the Free University of Brussels, supplies a patient record system to multiple hospitals across Belgium. As running a hospital continues to take an increasing amount of power, UZ Brussel opted for Dell EMC PowerEdge servers equipped with AMD EPYC server CPUs that they felt delivered the level of performance and security features they required.

The results were clear:

They’re not the only company making use of cutting-edge AMD server processor technologies; Ample Organics is a world leader in medical cannabis technology and requires digital systems at every step of their production process to track growth, sales, reporting and record-keeping for clients to maintain compliance with Health Canada’s regulatory requirements.

With over 600 Amazon EC2 cloud instances of varying sizes, the opportunity for Ample Organics to optimize and make savings was significant, even if the improvements were small. Transferring their infrastructure to Amazon EC2 T3a servers powered by AMD EPYC server CPUs, the improvements were anything but small.

The benefits didn’t stop there, however, as Ample Organics went on to save on their overall OpEx spend, as well as increasing their security.

As healthcare continues to grow increasingly digital, following acts in the last decade such as the EMR mandate to move to electronic record keeping, more companies will require computing performance that helps them not only provide their services, but do so in a way that is efficient and secure.

As AI adoption accelerates across healthcare, organizations are increasingly supporting new workloads. Supporting such workloads requires infrastructure capable of balancing CPU performance, GPU acceleration, memory capacity and operational efficiency without introducing unnecessary investment. With servers powered by AMD EPYC server CPUs, customers can be ready for the needs of today and the growing demands of tomorrow.

Healthcare continues its transition towards AI-driven care delivery; as a result, secure hybrid infrastructure, distributed healthcare systems and sustainable scaling will become strategic priorities for healthcare organizations worldwide.
