Enabling two security features on 3rd Gen AMD EPYC processors minimally affected OLTP performance on a Dell EMC PowerEdge R6525 system

A Dell EMC PowerEdge R6525 server with AMD EPYC 7543 processors delivered similar online transaction processing performance with and without AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization - Encrypted State and AMD Secure Memory Encryption enabled.

Hardware-level security is important if you want to ensure the continued health of your business and protect sensitive data. But it often comes with a price: Historically, measures to enhance CPU security have at times negatively affected CPU performance. Two security features from AMD have the potential to buck the trend by encrypting system memory, host memory, and guest CPU register with little effect on OLTP performance.
