ATLANTA, GEORGIA: AMI®, a global leader in dynamic firmware, today announced the release of AMI Data Center Manager (DCM) version 6.1 at AMI Tech Day Taiwan 2025. Building on the major updates introduced in version 6.0, this release further bridges traditional data center management with the evolving needs of AI infrastructure and GPU-driven workloads.

DCM 6.1 introduces advanced GPU management for improved utilization and early failure detection; enhanced power and PDU monitoring; expanded inventory and health reporting; and new usability features such as backup and restore capabilities and release version checking. It also adds support for more than 30 new servers, power, and networking device models, including servers based on MegaRAC OneTree® BMC solution.

An AI-powered chatbot named AMILiA, is also introduced in this release. It allows users to perform inventory queries, health checks, and device actions through natural language interaction—bringing a more intuitive experience to data center operations.
