Is Westmere the minimum architecture needed for the required SSE?
Server hardware at the minimum v2 functionality can be found for a few hundred dollars.
A competent administrator with physical access could solve this quickly.
Take a ReaR image, then restore it on the new platform.
Where are the physical servers?
Zen 2 Epyc would barely double the price of older platforms if you buy an entire server, and would run circles around them.
