AMI Director of Business Development Kenneth Tao recently sat down with Digitimes<\/em> during the 2025 OCP APAC Summit in Taipei for a wide-ranging interview on AMI\u2019s emphasis on open-source solutions, the importance of our participation in the Open Compute Project (OCP), major shifts in the firmware ecosystem, and much more. In this interview, he elaborates on how Taiwan’s data center and cloud computing industries are rapidly embracing open-source and open architecture, driven by evolving demands from Cloud Service Providers (CSPs).<\/p>\n

AMI is leading this transformation by partnering with Taiwan’s Original Design Manufacturers (ODMs) to develop scalable, secure, and customizable open firmware platforms. This shift empowers ODMs to reduce maintenance costs, enhance competitiveness, and transition from manufacturers to product definers, positioning Taiwan as a global leader in open infrastructure innovation.<\/p>\n
