Following the Partnership Summit, AMI will be participating in the OCP EMEA Summit, April 29-30, where we will kick off with an executive presentation from AMI’s Chief Product Officer, Zach Bobroff.
Zach Bobroff, CPO – AMI: “Evolving the Infrastructure Stack: Rack‑Scale Designs, Open Firmware, and Intelligent Sustainability” on Wednesday, April 29, 13:18 – 13:36, Level P1 – 111
Focused presentations will explore the impacts of new regulations around security, expanded code coverage practices in EDK II, accelerating firmware development with Agentic AI and shifting platform configuration to a data-driven model through UPCI.
AMI will be leading several speaking sessions along with key partners:
- Stefano Righi, AMI Senior VP – Global Security Software Group: “Impact of EU CRA and other regulations to the OCP ecosystem” on Wednesday, April 29, 15:15 – 15:30 in Level P1 – 113
- Marc Meunier, Director of Ecosystem Development – Arm, Mohan Kumar, Architect – Oracle, and Srini Narayana, AMI Senior VP– Boot Firmware Group,: “Datacenter Power and Thermal Management on Arm Architectures” on Wednesday, April 29, 15:35 – 15:50 in Level P1 – 114
- Dos Terasaka, AMI Solution Architect – Strategic Market Development and Product Management, and Srini Narayana AMI Senior VP– Boot Firmware Group: “Scaling Code Coverage for Robust Open System Firmware” on Wednesday, April 29, 15:55 – 16:10 | in Level P1 – 114
- Sudan Ayanam, AMI VP Technology and Architecture – AI Infrastructure Group: “Agentic AI Meets Open and Secure Firmware: Accelerating Firmware Development & Deployment” on Wednesday, April 29, 16:15 – 16:30 in Level P1 – 114
Key Innovations to be demonstrated in AMI booth A23 are:
- Infrastructure Services, Open Rack Management and Infrastructure Device Management in the AI Datacenter
- AI Infrastructure Management, with Infrastructure Services using Grafana and Prometheus, and complete scalable Rack Management, built through the work from OCP OpenRMC-DM, for faster time to deployment, improved monitoring, and quicker response.
- DC-MHS Modular Firmware and FPGA-based Plug-and-Play
- Plug-and-Play providing dynamic detection, device mapping, configuration, and management including streaming boot enablement, and AI firmware orchestration, all of which minimizes integration complexity and maximized scalability.
- Post Quantum Cryptography- Secure Platform Root of Trust
- Trust using the Tektagon PROT and implementing PQC features to provide a fully resilient BIOS and BMC firmware protecting, detecting, and recovering from attacks.
- MegaRAC OneTree Community Edition (CE): Open, Unified, Hardened OpenBMC
- MegaRAC OneTree CE, a new open, unified, and hardened OpenBMC implementation simplifying the BMC code management for heterogenous fleets.
- Also showcasing additional AMI products / partner solutions
Come Join AMI at the Partnership Forum for Open Compute and the OCP EMEA Summit April 28 – 30 in Barcelona and learn about the next generation innovations in open platforms, firmware, security, infrastructure management and applications of agentic AI.
