AMD is growing today with the completion of another acquisition. Today, AMD announced that it has completed its acquisition of ZT Systems, a move intended to bolster AMD's presence and expertise in the booming AI market.

ZT Systems is a provider of AI and general-purpose compute infrastructure for ‘hyperscale' providers. With this acquisition, AMD will now be able to offer end-to-end AI solutions utilising a combination of AMD hardware, from CPUs, GPUs, networking silicon and more. As part of the acquisition, the design teams from ZT Systems will join the AMD Data Center Solutions business unit by the end of 2025.

Speaking on the acquisition, AMD Data Center Solutions Business Unit VP and general manager, Forrest Norrod, said:

“With the rapid pace of innovation in AI, reducing the end-to-end design and deployment time of cluster-level data center AI systems will be a significant competitive advantage for our customers. Acquiring ZT Systems is a significant milestone in our AI strategy to deliver leadership training and inferencing solutions that are optimized for our customers’ unique environment, ready-to-deploy at scale, and based on our open ecosystem approach that combines open-source software, industry standard networking technologies”.

Former ZT Systems Founder and CEO Frank Zhang joins AMD as senior vice president of ZT Manufacturing, reporting to Forrest Norrod.
