This includes items like:

Physical support structures

-Racks

-Shelves and adapters

-Cable management and gear interconnects

Stable Power delivery at the Rack level and below

-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
