<b>SUNNYVALE,
Calif. – March 20, 2013 – </b>AMD (NYSE: AMD)today
announced that the <a href="http://www.seamicro.com/products/sm15K_overview">SeaMicro
SM15000T </a>&nbsp;server is now certified for CDH4, Cloudera’s Distribution
Including Apache Hadoop® Version 4. AMD’s SeaMicro SM15000 server, which can
deliver up to 512 processor cores and over five petabytes of storage in a
single system, is the industry’s most power-efficient big data server platform.
It offers the highest storage density solution in the industry with the lowest
total cost of ownershipand
provides everything required for CDH4, creating a ”Hadoop-in-a-Box” solution.

AMD’s SeaMicro FreedomT Fabric
provides massive bandwidth and storage I/O to scale compute and storage,
delivering efficient, cost effective scale-out computing. The system’s robust
design allows petabytes of storage to be added or upgraded by simply adding
hard drives while the system is in service. The jointly tested and certified
solution enables organizations to deploy CDH4 quickly and minimize operating
expenses related to space and power.

Reinventing the economics and
performance of big data management, Cloudera is a category leader in Apache
Hadoop-based software, services and training. CDH4 is the world’s most widely
deployed distribution of Apache Hadoop. Today, more than half of the Fortune 50
use Cloudera’s Distribution Including Apache Hadoop. AMD’s SeaMicro SM15000
server is the first fabric-based computing server to be certified by Cloudera
and establishes a new benchmark for computing and storage performance and power
efficiency for Apache Hadoop deployments.

”The CDH4 certification assures
our customers that the SM15000 completed and passed strict testing and
performance requirements," said Tim Stevens, VP of Business and Corporate
Development at Cloudera. "Leveraging the deep domain expertise and
expanding knowledge base offered by Cloudera and the greater Cloudera Connect
partner ecosystem, AMD can enable its customers to bypass the complexity
associated with deploying and managing Hadoop and put their data to immediate
use. We’re committed to helping enterprises achieve the most from their big
data initiatives, and we’re pleased that AMD has completed certification of the
SM15000 on CDH4."

AMD’s SeaMicro SM15000 system is
the highest-density, most energy-efficient server in the market. In 10-rack
units, it links 512 compute cores, 160 gigabits of I/O networking using the
1.28 terabyte high-performance SeaMicro Freedom Fabric, and more than five
petabytes of <a href="http://www.seamicro.com/products/freedomfabric_overview">FreedomT
Fabric Storage</a>. The SM15000 server eliminates top-of-rack switches,
terminal servers, hundreds of cables and thousands of unnecessary components
for a more efficient and simple operational environment.

”CDH4 is an application that
benefits tremendously from our revolutionary Freedom Fabric’s ability to
provide massive amounts of bandwidth and simplify scale out computing and
storage deployments,” said Dhiraj Mallick, general manager and corporate vice
president, Data Center Server Solutions Business Unit, AMD. ”The data center
server is the workhorse of big data and the AMD’s SeaMicro SM15000 server is
the industry’s most power efficient, highest-density big data server platform
with the highest storage density. We are excited to work with Cloudera to help
our customers harness the power of Hadoop.”

The SM15000 supports Freedom
Fabric Storage products, extending the fabric out of the system enclosure
enabling a single system to connect to more than five petabytes of storage.
This approach delivers the benefits of expensive and complex solutions such as
network attached storage (NAS) and storage area networking (SAN) with the
simplicity and low cost of direct attached storage. To learn more, visit http://www.seamicro.com.
