Open Compute Project

What is OCP

19’’ form factor has been a world standard for hardware servers since the birth of modern telecommunication. With the growth of the GAFAs, as massive users of hardware, a new question has emerged: what if we created a new standard to address new challenges such as consumption, density, maintenance, or flexibility?

Facebook, with this question in mind, initiated the Open Compute Project (OCP) by 2011.

 

The Open Compute Project is a collaborative community, focuses on rethinking the IT principles and redesigning hardware technology to support the growing demand for computing infrastructure efficiently.

The OCP follows the spirit of software open source communities adapted to hardware. The members aim to share the best possible designs to answer modern needs with the most suitable solution.

With a touch of “Zero Bullshit”, the OCP based hardware offers three significant benefits:

  • • Much more flexibility and performance;
  • • Drastically lower costs;
  • • Lower energy consumption.

2CRSi & OCP

The customer experience has always been at the heart of our mission.

That's why our company started by doing custom-made servers: to be able to offer "out of the box" designs that just suits the actual market needs, merging with OCP goals.

Convinced by the mindset, we joined the OCP community in 2018 as a Platinum member.

The 2CRSi team is actively involved in OCP Rack & Power, Advanced Cooling, HPC, Server, and Storage project groups. 

This involvement in the community enables 2CRSi to design solutions based on the OCP standards with unique 2CRSi designs, to go even further in performance and energy consumption.

Our contributions to OCP

2CRSi group, have been a  member of the Open Compute Project community since 2018, and our values of  openess, innovation and sustainability are a perfect compliment to oneanother.
