Mahindra modernizes HPC infrastructure on Google Cloud with AMD EPYC processors, enabling faster innovation and digital-first experiences.
Challenging the perception that high-performance computing (HPC) in the cloud is costly, Mahindra Group has redefined its IT strategy by adopting AMD EPYC™ processor-powered virtual machines on Google Cloud. This move has modernized Mahindra’s HPC infrastructure, delivering 40% cost savings, improved performance, and unlocking new revenue streams.
Mahindra built an on-demand HPC platform to support compute-intensive workloads such as product design and virtual simulation. This transformation proved critical during the digital-first launch of the Thar ROXX five-door SUV, where Mahindra processed 200,000 online reservations in just 1.5 hours—a feat impossible through traditional showroom rollouts.
AMD EPYC processors provide the performance, memory bandwidth, and core density required to run these workloads at scale in the cloud, reducing infrastructure and software licensing costs while improving efficiency.
“By moving our workloads to AMD EPYC CPU-based virtual machines, we have seen greater application performance and up to 40 percent cost savings.”
— Abhishek Sukhwal, Head of Infrastructure, Mahindra Group
Key Highlights:
- Cost Optimization: Achieved ~40% overall savings.
- Performance Gains: Improved performance per core and reduced licensing costs.
- Scalable Platform: Supports HPC, design, and enterprise workloads.
- Faster Innovation: Accelerates design processing and digital experiences.
Abhishek Sukhwal, Head of Infrastructure at Mahindra Group, said:
“By moving our workloads to AMD EPYC CPU-based virtual machines, we have seen greater application performance and up to 40 percent cost savings. The performance and efficiency of AMD EPYC processors have strengthened our business case and accelerated our IT transformation.”
Vinay Sinha, Managing Director – India Sales at AMD, added:
“AMD EPYC processors are engineered to help enterprises like Mahindra accelerate innovation, whether on-prem or in the cloud. By delivering a strong combination of performance, core density, and energy efficiency, EPYC processors empower organizations to scale compute-intensive workloads while optimizing TCO.”
