  (ZT Systems)
  A miért -re ez talán egy jobb cikk[1]

  pár gondolat:
  - kevés a jelenlegi 500 rendszer mérnök és a Supermicro túl drága.
  - Az nVidia DGX -re kell alternativa.
  - A ZT Systems jelenlegi főnöke együtt dolgozott Forest Norod -al még a Dell-nél.

  [1] "Why AMD Spent $4.9 Billion To Buy ZT Systems"
  https://www.nextplatform.com/2024/08/19/why-amd-spent-4-9-billion-to-buy-zt-systems/

  "What AMD is going to do is up its game in systems architecture and engineering. At the moment, AMD has somewhere around 500 system engineers, Norrod estimates, but ZT Systems has 1,100 people that do this work. And given that AMD doesn’t just build systems to one standard, but multiple standards, it needs that many more people to help it design and build to test – but not manufacture for production – the future GPU accelerated systems that are going to be a challenge for it. It is not clear what AMD will get as it spins off that ZT Systems manufacturing business, but amassing 1,100 system engineers with deep, real-world experience would not only cost billions and billions of dollars, but it may not be possible to get it any other way than acquiring a boutique high performance system manufacturer like ZT Systems.

  It’s cheaper than acquiring Supermicro. . . . and probably with the same level of system engineers.

  This is really about time to market and upping the system design and engineering game. AMD has done a great job putting together excellent CPUs and now GPUs, but it needs to put together a networking stack and system boards, and have it all fit in rackscale and cluster-wide system designs that are tested and validated at scale. This is why Nvidia created the DGX line, and AMD agrees that it needs to do this but it is not going to build systems for customers and it is not going to be a prime contractor for HPC or AI clusters. Unlike Intel tried to be and failed at pretty badly.
  
  Doug Huang, who was a director of engineering of the Data Center Solutions division at Dell under Norrod, was hired to be vice president of platform engineering at ZT Systems in January 2013, when it pivoted to rackscale systems. Huang rose through the ranks to head up engineering and global manufacturing at ZT Systems and was named president of the company in January 2023. Huang is going to stay on at AMD and run the combined team of around 1,600 system designer and engineers.
