As AI workloads continue to drive unprecedented changes across data center architecture, the OCP APAC Summit, organized and hosted by the Open Compute Project Foundation, has become a critical meeting point for the OEM, ODM, hyperscale, and technology partner ecosystem. Taking place once again this year in Taipei, the event brings together the companies shaping the future of open hardware, firmware, management software, cooling technologies, and rack-scale AI infrastructure. For many of the world’s leading server and platform manufacturers, Taiwan remains the center of innovation and production, making the 2026 OCP APAC Summit one of the most influential venues for discussing the next generation of open, interoperable infrastructure.
From August 11-12 at Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center Hall 2, AMI, a Lattice Semiconductor company, will demonstrate how open firmware, intelligent management, and platform security are enabling the rapidly evolving AI data center. Through a combination of live booth demonstrations, virtual showcases, and expert-led technical sessions, visitors to AMI Booth PR14 will see firsthand how AMI solutions help OEMs, ODMs, cloud service providers, and enterprise customers accelerate deployment of scalable, secure, and manageable infrastructure.
Featured Demonstrations at AMI Booth PR14 during OCP APAC Summit
At the AMI booth, attendees can explore demonstrations of several highlighted technologies designed to address the growing complexity of modern AI and hyperscale environments.
Liquid Cooling Solution Featuring SUNON CDU
As rack power densities continue to climb with AI accelerator deployments, liquid cooling has become a necessity rather than an optimization. AMI’s liquid cooling demonstration featuring a SUNON Coolant Distribution Unit (CDU) will showcase intelligent monitoring and management capabilities that help operators maintain thermal efficiency while improving reliability and uptime. Visitors will see how firmware and management software provide visibility into cooling system health, enabling more efficient operation of next-generation high-density AI racks.
MegaRAC Development Kit Powered by the Nuvoton NPCM8mnx (“Arbel”) BMC
AMI will also showcase its MegaRAC development platform running on the Nuvoton NPCM8mnx (“Arbel”) Baseboard Management Controller (BMC). The demonstration provides developers and platform architects with a hands-on look at the technologies powering modern server manageability. Attendees can explore remote monitoring, system control, firmware management, security features, and open standards support that enable faster platform development and deployment.
Virtual Demonstrations
In addition to the live booth experiences, AMI will feature a broad portfolio of virtual demonstrations highlighting innovations across firmware, platform management, security, and AI infrastructure.
Scaling Code Coverage for Robust Open System Firmware
As firmware becomes increasingly critical to platform security and stability, comprehensive testing is essential. This demonstration illustrates how advanced code coverage techniques help development teams identify gaps earlier, improve software quality, and accelerate delivery of reliable open-system firmware.
MegaRAC OneTree™ Community Edition Overview
Visitors can learn how MegaRAC OneTree Community Edition (CE) unifies the fractured OpenBMC™ landscape into a single, cohesive source tree that’s synchronized both with upstream OpenBMC and with downstream commercial MegaRAC OneTree on a regular cadence. MegaRAC OneTree CE supports open infrastructure initiatives by providing developers access to a modern management and orchestration framework built around open standards and community collaboration.
DC-MHS Plug-and-Play Modular Infrastructure
This demonstration highlights how Data Center Modular Hardware System (DC-MHS) architectures simplify system integration through standardized, interoperable components, helping organizations reduce deployment complexity while increasing hardware flexibility.
End-to-End Platform Trust Built on Secure Firmware
Security starts below the operating system. This demo shows how AMI’s security technologies establish trust from system boot through runtime operations, helping organizations protect critical infrastructure against increasingly sophisticated threats.
An Introduction to AMI Data Center Manager Version 6.2
Attendees can see how the latest release of AMI Data Center Manager delivers centralized visibility and control across distributed infrastructure. The solution provides monitoring, firmware and asset management, telemetry collection, and operational insights that help data center operators improve efficiency and reduce downtime.
AI Rack-Scale Infrastructure Management Services
As AI deployments shift toward rack-level architectures, management demands are expanding beyond individual servers. This demonstration showcases how AMI technologies support orchestration, monitoring, and management at the rack scale, helping operators manage complex AI environments more effectively.
AMI Client Manager Remote Management Solution for AI PCs
With AI capabilities increasingly moving to endpoint devices, the AMI Remote Client Manager solution enables remote monitoring and management of AI-enabled PCs, allowing IT teams to securely administer devices throughout their lifecycle.
SCM Firmware for Liquid Cooling, Power Shelves and Rack Managers
This demonstration highlights the growing importance of system control module (SCM) firmware in modern data centers. Visitors will see how AMI supports management functions spanning liquid cooling systems, power infrastructure, and rack-level controllers to deliver operational visibility across the entire platform.
FMS-AI Firmware Management Service
Designed for the scale and complexity of AI deployments, Firmware Management Service (FMS)-AI helps organizations streamline firmware inventory, compliance, updates, and lifecycle management across large fleets of systems.
Technical Sessions
Beyond the engaging demos and discussion in the AMI booth, both AMI and Lattice thought leaders will once again share their expertise during breakout sessions at 2026 OCP APAC Summit.
As part of the AI Clusters track, Winston Thangapandian, BMC Architect, Manageability Solutions Group (MSG), AMI, a Lattice Company, will present “Building Interoperable Open-Source Firmware and Software for Next-Gen Disaggregated AI Racks.”
His session will explore how rapidly evolving AI infrastructure is driving unprecedented firmware complexity as compute, networking, security, power, and management functions become increasingly disaggregated. The presentation will examine the importance of open-source firmware frameworks, standardized interfaces, and shared APIs for reducing fragmentation, improving interoperability, and accelerating innovation across the industry.
Additionally, Prakash Suthar, Distinguished Engineer at Lattice Semiconductor, will present “Securing the Photonic Attack Surface: An Open Framework for Hardening Optical Fabrics, Management Planes, and SFP Ports.”
The session will examine emerging security challenges facing modern optical networking environments. As optical fabrics become increasingly programmable and interconnected, organizations must address vulnerabilities extending from physical infrastructure and transceivers to management planes and software-defined networking controllers. Attendees will gain insight into practical approaches for strengthening security through hardware roots of trust, transceiver validation, and standards-based network protection mechanisms.
Join AMI at OCP APAC 2026
The conversations taking place at OCP APAC increasingly reflect the direction of the global infrastructure industry. As AI drives demand for higher-density compute, advanced cooling, stronger security, and more open management architectures, collaboration between OEMs, ODMs, silicon vendors, hyperscalers, and software providers has never been more important. With Taipei serving as the heart of much of the world’s data center hardware innovation, OCP APAC Summit has become a premier venue for unveiling new technologies and shaping future standards.
AMI is proud to participate alongside industry leaders as we help build the open, secure, and scalable infrastructure foundation required for the next generation of AI-powered computing. We look forward to welcoming guests from across the open ecosystem to the 2026 OCP APAC Summit.
