What is OCP?

OCP, short for Open Compute Project, is an initiative founded by Facebook that aims to design and distribute highly efficient, open-source hardware solutions for data centers and cloud computing. It brings together various corporations and individuals in a collaborative effort to improve energy efficiency and reduce costs in large-scale computing environments. OCP promotes the sharing of hardware designs and specifications, allowing companies to customize and optimize their infrastructure for specific requirements. This open approach encourages innovation and fosters a community-driven ecosystem. OCP's fundamental principle is to encourage transparent and open collaboration, providing comprehensive blueprints that enable organizations to build and deploy scalable, energy-efficient, and cost-effective data center solutions. Whether it's servers, storage, networking, or rack designs, OCP seeks to revolutionize the data center industry by enabling faster innovation and driving down operational expenses.
