14 DAY TRIAL // American Megatrends Inc. (AMI), a hardware and software company that specializes in BIOS and UEFI firmware, PC hardware, data storage products, remote and server management tools, as well as unique solutions powered by Linux and Android, has been proud to announce that it has joined SUSE's 64-bit ARM Partner Program.
SUSE, the company behind one of the most acclaimed enterprise Linux kernel-based operating systems, SUSE Linux, as well as the community-developed OpenSuSE GNU/Linux distribution, created the partner program expansion for its OEM partners who wanted to build innovative solutions powered by 64-bit ARM server processors. Now that AMI (American Megatrends) has also joined its 64-bit ARM Partner Program, there will be more compatibility between AMI BIOS and UEFI firmware on 64-bit ARM systems.
"SUSE is pleased to have AMI join the partner program. With this partnership, SUSE and AMI are helping to ensure the maturity and compatibility of 64-bit ARM systems using the AMI BIOS and Firmware solutions. End users and the community as a whole will benefit from mature and tested systems, thus reducing risk to enterprise customers. SUSE looks forward to working with AMI in a continued effort to bring innovation and stability to the 64-bit ARM ecosystem," said David Byte, senior technology strategist for SUSE.
SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 for AArch64 (ARM 64-bit)
SUSE's 64-bit ARM Partner Program is unique in the sense that OEM partners can immediately start developing powerful solutions based on the SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 operating system for the AArch64 (ARM 64-bit) hardware architecture, an interoperable platform for mission-critical computing. It is designed from the ground up to help partners and customers reduce cost, manage complexity, as well as address boldly mission-critical services.
American Megatrends believes that it can benefit from the countless opportunities that might arise thanks to SUSE's knowledge and expertise, and it hopes that, by joining the SUSE 64-bit ARM Partner Program, it will deliver specialized and cost-effective solutions based on the AArch64 ecosystem.
