OCP Copenhagen presentation sept 2017
The document discusses the Open Compute Project (OCP), a non-profit organization focused on open-source hardware to innovate and disrupt traditional data centers since 2011. It emphasizes the benefits of open-source collaboration, including cost savings, efficiency, and the elimination of outdated hardware practices. OCP aims to reset traditional mindsets in data center operations, advocating for modular and simplified design to enhance performance and reduce waste.

They have been removed, in the spirit of the open source movement, for the advancement of electric vehicle technology.” Elon Musk 2014 : open source collaborative communities innovate more and develop products and solutions faster than closed secretive groups

Editor's Notes
- #5 Ask me afterwards for more details about OCP and getting involved in the community
- #14 Crossing the chasm Read this book about disruptive technologies and their dispersion into the market place
- #16 OCP joint founder Frank F. Embedded Youtube video in slide.
- #17 Read about patents and the collaborative commons in book the zero marginal cost society. Read academic studies on development of sewing machines and how the introduction of patents slowed innovation. See The Case Against Patents https://research.stlouisfed.org/wp/2012/2012-035.pdf
- #18 To understand the broad trends for data centres and the global macro economics read these books The Zero Marginal Cost Society by Jeremy Rifkin And The Big Switch by N.Carr
- #20 See IDC report for growth through to 2020
- #24 Based on 40 traditional one u servers in rack compared to the OCP equivalent
- #27 Discrediting the traditional 20th century computer room practices ......a few teaser questions....
- #28 OCP wide uses cabinet allows 25% increase in in HDDs . See the OCP third width servers. Open Vault (old name Knox) offers high disk densities, holding 30 drives in a 2U chassis. Increasing rail widths does not increase overall width of rack so they would still fit a 2ft floor grid http://www.opencompute.org/blog/introducing-the-open-rack/
- #30 or perhaps 19inches is related to bee hives
- #31 Fan Cube Law …halving the fan speed uses one eight the power. Remember to include the fans in the dual power supply units.
- #32 Fan Cube Law …halving the fan speed uses one eight the power. Remember to include the fans in the dual power supply units. This is not an OCP heat sink
- #34 Water cooled mainframes require access floor voids for water cooling pipes. Water leaks from above makes $4 million mainframe go pop!
- #35 Discrediting the traditional 20th century computer room practices ......a few teaser questions....
- #36 Discrediting the traditional 20th century computer room practices ......a few teaser questions....
- #37 Discrediting the traditional 20th century computer room practices ......a few teaser questions....
- #38 Discrediting the traditional 20th century computer room practices ......a few teaser questions....
- #39 Discrediting the traditional 20th century computer room practices ......a few teaser questions....
- #40 Discrediting the traditional 20th century computer room practices ......a few teaser questions.... Man is nothing without his tools …a famous quote by philosopher Thomas Caryle
- #41 Tool-less gear in white space …wow no screw drivers!! See those green touch points.
- #42 A complete novice removes and reinstalls HDD from an OCP storage tray.
- #48 A different approach to resilience @scale when using combination of software and hardware. This is emphasised in Ken Pratchet video.
- #49 One needs to consider costs holistically. OCP gear significantly impacts capx and opex costs for data centre eco systems. e.g. No centralised UPS, Chillers, Access floors, copper permanent link comms cables, intelligent rear mounted power strips, ………… One also needs to consider the smaller space footprints that result in no centralised UPS and battery rooms and all the associated fire, colling and other subsystems that are no longer required.

- #51 The Kubler-Ross Change Curve describes the emotional turmoil a .person goes through when someone close to them dies OCP is a disruptive open source data centre hardware technology. OCP gear kills peoples 20th century technology babies/children.
