Ampere™ Launches Asia Partner Program to Drive Growth in Hyperscale Cloud Computing

 Ampere™, a high-performance microprocessor based on the Arm architecture for cloud and edge servers, today announced an Asian partner program. The program will enable distributors and solution partners in Asia to build platforms based on its eMAG™ Armv8-A 64-bit processor. To support the first product for the Asian market, Ampere has established strategic partnerships with many channel partners, including Beijing Liantai Cluster (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd. (LTHPC), Shanghai Tianhao Information Technology Co., Ltd. (Tele-Hot Information Technology) and South Korea's GayaData, through which Ampere is providing eMAG samples to Chinese cloud computing companies. Ampere offers a variety of configurations and a multi-generation future product roadmap in Asia, delivering powerful, affordable, energy-efficient and flexible platforms to meet the market's growing demand for hyperscale cloud computing, Android cloud gaming and other innovative Internet applications.

Ampere was founded in 2017 and its China headquarters is located in Shanghai. It is committed to building a strong partner ecosystem in Asia to promote the development of open source communities for software and hardware development. In 2018, Ampere joined the Green Computing Industry Consortium (GCC), which is committed to the ecosystem development and market promotion of green computing products based on Arm architecture server technology, and became a platinum member.

Renee James, Chairman and CEO of Ampere and Vice President of the Green Computing Alliance, said: "In Asia, our products have sparked great interest from partners and cloud computing companies. These companies are looking for an alternative Arm-based platform that is flexible and can meet their unique needs. Ampere's launch of eMAG in Asia will not only promote the deployment of more open and environmentally friendly hyperscale data centers, but also expand Ampere's established partner ecosystem around the world to help realize a true open source community."
