Tech Mahindra and AMD: AI and Hybrid Cloud Solutions
Tech Mahindra and AMD have announced an agreement to create infrastructure and cloud solutions designed for enterprise transformation.
This partnership will concentrate on combining AMD’s processors and accelerators with Tech Mahindra’s Cloud BlazeTech platform, aiming to serve enterprises in the manufacturing, finance, telecommunications and healthcare sectors.
The two companies intend to develop solutions compatible across end-user devices, servers and cloud infrastructure including public, private and hybrid settings.
- Tech Mahindra will integrate AMD EPYC processors and Instinct accelerators with its Cloud BlazeTech platform
- AMD's EPYC 9575F processor delivers over 10 times the performance of Intel Xeon for latency-constrained AI inference
- Gartner predicts 50% of cloud compute resources will be dedicated to AI workloads by 2029
“Enterprises worldwide are scrambling to maximise ROI while navigating the complexity of hybrid and cloud-native ecosystems,” says Mohit Joshi, CEO and Managing Director at Tech Mahindra.
“Our strategic agreement with AMD is a step towards delivering next-generation hyper scalable solutions that seamlessly bridge on-site infrastructure with cloud-native capabilities.”
Integrating AMD processors with Cloud BlazeTech
Cloud BlazeTech, an integrated platform from Tech Mahindra, works to accelerate an enterprise’s cloud transformation by making migration simpler, facilitating intelligent operations and offering unified management across different cloud environments.
The platform provides pre-built solutions for specific industries, automation and governance to help businesses improve agility and manage costs.
Our strategic agreement with AMD is a step towards delivering next-generation hyper scalable solutions.
As part of the agreement, Tech Mahindra plans to integrate AMD’s compute engines into its Cloud BlazeTech solution. This move addresses a particular challenge for enterprises identified in research from autumn 2024 by Vanson Bourne. In a survey of 1,500 IT and DevOps decision-makers, it was found that over 80% reported their infrastructure requires improvement to support cloud native applications and containers.
Tech Mahindra currently manages cloud operations for more than 300 clients, with these services generating annual revenue exceeding US$700m.
AMD EPYC processors and Instinct accelerators
AMD will contribute its EPYC processors and Instinct accelerators to the joint solutions. AMD launched its 5th Generation EPYC 9005 Series processors in October 2024. According to AMD, its Zen 5 core architecture delivers up to 37% higher instructions per clock in AI and high performance computing when compared to the previous generation. The 192-core EPYC 9965 processor could provide up to 3.7 times the performance on end-to-end AI workloads such as TPCx-AI.
Dr Lisa Su, Chair and CEO at AMD, says: “Together, AMD and Tech Mahindra will help enterprises accelerate their cloud transformation and AI adoption with the performance and efficiency they need to scale. By combining our EPYC processors and AMD Instinct accelerators with Tech Mahindra, we can create solutions that enable customers to deploy AI on compute infrastructure across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.”
Meeting infrastructure modernisation demands
The collaboration outlines a roadmap that includes infrastructure optimisation and AI enablement. This aligns with market trends, as the 2025 Enterprise Cloud Index found that over 80% of organisations surveyed have put a Gen AI strategy in place. However, the same research noted that these organisations face challenges related to data security, compliance and IT infrastructure modernisation despite their interest in using Gen AI.
Further research from Gartner predicts that 90% of organisations will have adopted a hybrid cloud approach by 2027. Gartner also identified data synchronisation across hybrid cloud landscapes as the most pressing challenge for implementing AI solutions. For 2025, Gartner reported that cloud infrastructure and platform services offerings are projected to make up 72% of IT spending on infrastructure as a service and platform as a service.
Mohit explains that the goal is to create solutions that help customers enhance performance in distributed systems. “Through these solutions, we aim to enable customers to optimise performance across distributed environments without compromising speed, security or control,” he says.
