OCP Global Summit 2025: Insyde Software Collaboration with Astera Labs’ Open Rack Architecture Extends Its OpenBMC Leadership Position

Insyde Software, provider of UEFI firmware and OpenBMC-based systems management solutions, announced its support for Astera Labs, Inc. newly unveiled Open Rack Architecture for AI Infrastructure 2.0 with its OpenBMC product, Supervyse OPF.As AI workloads scale beyond traditional server boundaries, the industry is rapidly embracing rack-scale architectures built on open standards. Open Rack Architecture leverages PCIe and UALink for scale-up connectivity, Ethernet for scale-out, and OpenBMC for standardized rack management-creating a foundation for multi-vendor interoperability and accelerated innovation. Supervyse OPF extends this vision by providing a robust, production-ready OpenBMC firmware platform optimized for managing hyperscale AI environments.

Supervyse OPF delivers comprehensive management and monitoring that integrates seamlessly with Astera Labs’ connectivity solutions.

By implementing standardized APIs for retimers, scale-up switches, and other critical components, it enables:

• Interoperability at Scale: OpenBMC-based systems management works across diverse hardware platforms
• Deep Visibility: Real-time telemetry and health monitoring for thousands of high-speed links
• Faster Deployment: Pre-validated with Astera Labs’ architecture accelerates time-to-market

“AI infrastructure at rack scale introduces new challenges, and customers need solutions that are scalable and proven,” said Stephen Gentile, CMO, Insyde Software. “Supervyse OPF delivers exactly that-secure, extensible OpenBMC management that simplifies integration, improves insight, and accelerates deployment.”

“AI infrastructure is evolving beyond individual servers to rack-scale systems that operate as a unified compute engine-what we call AI Infrastructure 2.0,” said Mike Hendricks, associate VP, solutions & ecosystem, Astera Labs. “Through our collaboration with Insyde and ASPEED, we’re standardizing the approach for managing, monitoring, and fine-tuning the rack. We have integrated key features from our COSMOS SDK into OpenBMC, so hyperscalers can adopt standard APIs-eliminating custom integration burdens and accelerating rack-scale deployments.”
