AMI Chief Commercial Officer Ken Sun has seen technology waves build and break before. This one’s different. In this post, he explores his belief that the most important work is happening where most people aren’t looking

It’s a big decision to leave one of the world’s most innovative companies, and that’s what I did when I logged my last hours at Microsoft. A lot of folks have asked what drove me to this decision. After all, I had a terrific job working with the industry on important innovation. Here’s my honest answer.

Eight and a half years at Microsoft gave me a front-row seat to cloud transformation. When I joined, we were in the early stages of convincing enterprises that the cloud was real, that it was safe, that it would change how they operated. Watching businesses of every size actually transform because of that shift was genuinely satisfying work. I got to see what it looks like when a technology wave hits critical mass.

And then I watched a new one build.

I’ve been around long enough to have lived through a few of these inflection points. PC to server. On-premise to cloud. Cloud to mobile. Each one has been significant, changing the trajectory. But what’s happening with AI is something else. We’re not automating a process or moving a workload. We’re scaling intelligence itself. That’s a different category of change, and I don’t think we’ve fully absorbed what that means yet.

Most people still think about AI as chatbots and advanced search engines. Useful ones, yes. I use them every day and they make me sharper. My daughters, 15 and 11, are already finding their own ways to work with these tools, and they’re asking hard questions too. About energy consumption. About sustainability. They’re not just users. They’re thinkers. That gives me a lot of hope about where this goes. But the point is: we’re still in the earliest chapter of this story.

And while these use cases are transformative, for enterprise and devops the opportunity is so much richer, and the story to its unfolding is just starting to emerge.

Another truth? The infrastructure to support what’s coming is nowhere near ready. Hyperscalers are deploying $700 billion in data center capex this year alone, and every element of that environment is requiring change. The management of complex systems at this scale is something we’ve never collectively delivered before, and it’s central to achieving AI’s ambition.

That’s where AMI comes in. And that’s why I’m here.

If you map the layers of an AI-driven world, namely power generation and proliferation, cooling, silicon, systems, models, and services, AMI sits in a place that most people outside the heart of infrastructure don’t think about much. Between the silicon and the service, there’s an infrastructure control plane: Firmware. The layer that actually manages how servers boot, how they’re patched, how they’re secured, how they expose who they are to management platforms and talk to everything around them.

In traditional data centers, that layer was important but relatively straightforward. Now? The infrastructure has transformed. We’re not managing individual servers anymore. We’re managing composable workflows on rack-scale compute clusters with integrated power management, liquid cooling, and heterogeneous processors. And here’s a detail that stuck with me from conversations inside Microsoft: operators are sometimes afraid to power down servers for maintenance because there’s a real chance they won’t come back up. That’s the gap between where the infrastructure is and where it needs to be.

AMI is sitting right at that gap. That’s not a problem to avoid. That’s the opportunity.

I also brought something specific to this role that I think matters. My career has moved end to end across the value chain. I’ve worked alongside chip fabs and ODMs in Asia, been on the ground floor for how silicon gets designed and built. I spent years at Schneider Electric, which taught me the operational technology side of data centers: power, cooling, the physical systems that IT people and OT people used to treat as completely separate worlds. Now those worlds are converging, and the solutions for integrated control will come in part from people who can speak both languages.

That convergence is real and it’s accelerating. Firmware now sits across both IT and OT domains simultaneously. Real-time decisions about compute workloads are informed by telemetry from cooling systems. The walls between those disciplines are down, whether everyone’s caught up to that fact or not.

I spent years building relationships across that entire chain. Bringing those connections to AMI, at this particular moment, felt like exactly the right fit.

There’s a version of this story where I talk about vision statements and market positioning. I’ll leave that for another day. What I actually felt, reading about AMI and then talking to the team, was recognition. This is a company that does foundational work. Quiet, critical, foundational work. And the world is about to need that work more than it ever has.

Announced during the 2023 OCP Global Summit, the OCP S.A.F.E. Program is designed to provide a strong degree of security assurance for the provenance, code quality and software supply chain for hardware and firmware releases for the wide variety of processing devices that are found in modern data centers.

To earn this prominent distinction as “OCP S.A.F.E Approved”, AMI previously completed two in-depth security audits with an OCP-approved security review provider. During the 2024 OCP Global Summit in San Jose, we announced that our Aptio Community Edition™ had successfully completed the OCP S.A.F.E. audit process, and later that year we completed the same for our MegaRAC Community Edition™. As part of the security reviews, Short Form Reports (SFR) from the audit process were published on the OCP marketplace, available through the links below:

• https://github.com/opencomputeproject/OCP-Security-SAFE/blob/main/Reports/AMI/2024/Aptio%20CE%20for%20Genoa/AMI_OCP-SAFE-Review_Final-Report-(UEFI)_2024-10-10.json

Helping Bring Order and Transparency to the Open-Source Firmware Supply Chain

Through four decades of firmware development and early adoption of open-source architectures, AMI has a keen understanding of how fragmentation of open-source solutions can lead to sacrifices in transparency and security. Community-driven verification of software clones – exacerbated by inconsistent branching – can become impossible without a single source of truth, leading to increased fragmentation and potentially jeopardizing the security of the ecosystem.

We believe that our approach is one of many ways that AMI stands out from the competition: by not only providing development services – which alone may increase fragmentation – but also maintaining an open-source contribution on which to base those development services. In this way, AMI is well positioned as the IFV best suited to drive security, transparency, and reliability over a multitude of fragmented solutions.

Through our OCP S.A.F.E verified development services and open-source contributions to the OCP GitHub repository, AMI distinguishes itself as a single source of truth bringing secure and transparent provenance to the firmware supply chain. Our contribution to the OCP GitHub helps bring a level of order and reliability to an open ecosystem, attested by the security audit – and is why we are honored to hold the first and only OCP S.A.F.E approvals granted to an IFV.

• No boot screens.
• No BIOS.
• No secure startup.
• No system management.
• Just silence.

Welcome to a computing world without AMI.

The Invisible Backbone 

Firmware is the unsung hero of modern computing. It’s the first code that runs when a device powers on, initializing hardware, launching operating systems, and enabling secure, stable operation. For decades, AMI has been the trusted name that’s been quietly powering everything from desktops, laptops, and hyperscale data centers to edge devices.

So what happens if AMI firmware suddenly disappears?

The Fallout: A World Without AMI

Millions of systems from enterprise servers to everyday laptops would simply stop working. Without BIOS or UEFI to initialize hardware and launch operating systems, devices wouldn’t even boot. And it’s not just about getting started, AMI firmware includes critical security features like secure boot and measured boot that protect against deep-level threats. Without it, systems would be left wide open to attacks.

System manufacturers count on AMI’s customizable, scalable firmware to bring products to market quickly and efficiently. Without it, development would slow down, costs would rise, and innovation would hit a wall. Cloud service providers and hyperscalers also rely on AMI for fast boot times, remote management, and platform stability. Without that foundation, cloud infrastructure would become unreliable, impacting the services we all depend on everyday.

With over 40 years of experience, AMI has built a deep well of knowledge and trust that can’t be replaced overnight. Losing that would mean losing decades of optimization, compatibility, and confidence across the entire computing ecosystem.

Why AMI Matters

The value that AMI brings to the industry is beyond just a firmware vendor. We are a foundational partner in the global computing ecosystem. We have deployed billions of devices throughout the years, backed by decades of engineering excellence. Our absence would ripple across industries from healthcare and finance to industrial IoT, embedded systems, AI, and beyond.

The Bottom Line

Firmware isn’t optional. It’s essential. And when it comes to firmware, AMI is the gold standard. So next time you power on your device, ask yourself: Got firmware? If it’s not from AMI, are you really ready?
