Firmware's Impact on the Future of the Secure and Modular Data Center

Learn about the evolving landscape of data center firmware in this 16-minute conference talk presented by Kelly Bryant from AMI at the Open Compute Project. Explore three critical aspects of modern data centers: the growing adoption of open-source foundational firmware like EDK II and OpenBMC, enhanced platform security measures including Platform Root of Trust (PRoT), and the shift towards open modular system architectures. Discover how industry standards such as DC-SCM and DC-MHS are enabling harmonized cross-vendor configurations and driving innovation in data center design. Gain insights into how these fundamental principles are shaping the future of secure and modular data centers through the lens of firmware development and implementation.
