AMI, a global leader in dynamic firmware solutions, has announced a strengthened partnership with the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), a premier Indian institution under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology. Building on their previous success with the “RUDRA” server, which saw over 6,000 units installed in key Indian institutions, this collaboration will focus on creating an Intel-based server designed specifically for the Indian government market.
C-DAC chose AMI India through a competitive bidding process to develop the UEFI/BIOS firmware for the new server. This partnership aligns with India’s “Make in India” initiative and aims to advance the country’s self-reliance in innovative technology solutions.
E. Magesh, Director General of C-DAC, commented, “C-DAC has been a leader in Indian supercomputing, and AMI’s global expertise in BIOS firmware is well recognized. This collaboration will help build a strong server infrastructure and further our efforts towards achieving self-reliance in critical technologies.”
Sanjay Wandhekar, Centre Head of C-DAC in Pune, added, “C-DAC and AMI share a vision to drive India’s technological growth. We’re excited to work with AMI on the next phase of developing next-gen server designs that will significantly contribute to India’s digital transformation.”
Arvind Jayabal, General Manager of AMI India, expressed, “We’re proud that C-DAC recognized AMI’s leadership in dynamic firmware. Building on our successful partnership with RUDRA, we’re confident that our work will contribute to developing innovative, indigenous server designs that support the ‘Make in India’ vision and ensure a secure future for India’s tech infrastructure.”
