Generative AI (GenAI) is reshaping industries worldwide, prompting many nations to adopt sovereign AI strategies to protect data and maintain control over AI development. This shift increases the need for secure, locally integrated server and storage solutions.
Sovereign AI is especially critical for regulated sectors such as government and financial services, where data-intensive workloads continue to grow. ASUS collaborated with AMD to deliver end-to-end solutions—enterprise servers, AI, cybersecurity, and cloud—to help organizations boost efficiency, strengthen data security, and improve TCO. With experience building national computing centers and partnering with AMD, ASUS enables secure, AI-driven transformation.
Transforming the financial industry
At the ASUS AI Tech event, industry leaders explored how ASUS AI infrastructure enables secure, AI-driven transformation in a rapidly evolving market.
“From hardware servers to software platforms, our expertise has helped our customers, particularly in the public sector and financial services industry, explore and leverage the power of sovereign AI,” says Paul Ju, Senior Vice President, Co-Head of Open Platform BG, ASUS.
Modern AI workloads and real-time financial services demand higher performance than traditional storage can deliver. Sovereign AI supports real-time risk assessment, market analysis, and high-performance computing with strong security and compliance.
ASUS and AMD provide end-to-end solutions that combine enterprise-grade servers, AI, cybersecurity, and cloud technologies—helping institutions manage data securely and optimize workloads.
A leading financial ISV in APAC upgraded its securities quotation system using ASUS RS700A-E13-RS4U servers with AMD EPYC™ 9005 processors, achieving full software compatibility, zero downtime, and improved trading efficiency.
Similarly, an Asian brokerage firm built a millisecond-level trading platform by pairing its open-source trading system with ASUS RS501A-E12-RS4U servers powered by AMD EPYC™ 9005 processors—ensuring fast execution, strong stability, and a competitive edge.
ASUS AI Infrastructure solutions, powered by AMD EPYC™ 9005 Processors
AMD EPYC™ processors deliver powerful and reliable performance for financial workloads, especially in quantitative finance and risk management. Using QuantLib v1.35 for benchmarking, systems powered by AMD EPYC showed superior performance and performance-per-watt, helping IT teams consolidate data center resources, cut software costs, and improve TCO.1
Benchmarks with open-source tools such as KX Nano further proved EPYC’s ability to handle large-scale time-series data and multi-threaded workloads, enabling higher throughput and efficient resource use. AMD continues to work with partners to meet the evolving needs of the financial services industry.2
Powered by industry-leading AMD EPYC™ 9005 processors, ASUS AI servers deliver unparalleled performance and density for AI-driven, mission-critical data center workloads. According to the latest standard benchmark tests, the RS520QA-E13 server achieved exceptional Peak Result and Base Result scores in the 2U4N configuration of the SPEC CPU® 2017 benchmark.3 Together, ASUS and AMD provide the reliability, throughput, and scalability that modern financial services require.
