Rack & Power

WELCOME

Welcome to the Open Compute Project's Open Rack Project.

This project if focused on optimizing all of the infrastructure that IT gear uses for very large scale deployments.

This includes items like:

Physical support structures

-Racks

-Shelves and adapters

-Cable management

Stable Power delivery

-power distribution system

-battery back-up

-power conversion

This project is focused on solving problems for large scale deployment like:

fast deployment of resources to the data center

efficient upgrade cycles

simple physical and thermal interfaces for the data center

quickly identifying and servicing of failed components

extracting value from components with different lifetimes

Get Involved

This project is open to the public and we are interested in getting the community involved in making things better.
