OpenUK seminar : open source tech and sustainability for data centres

The document discusses how the Open Compute Project Foundation optimizes data center hardware. It outlines how traditional data centers have overkill with components like switches, power supplies, fans, and access floors that OCP removes. It shows how a traditional data center uses 4,536 server nodes while an OCP optimized one uses only 2,994 nodes. An OCP data center has lower PUE, construction costs over 50% less, and reduces annual electricity costs by over £500,000 compared to a traditional data center.

OpenUK open source tech and the circular economy laban nov 2020

This document discusses the relationship between circular economy practices and open source technologies. It argues that open source technologies have become good enough in the last decade to support circular design approaches. Examples provided include how the Open Compute Project (OCP) uses open source designs and principles of modularity and disaggregation to dramatically reduce materials used in data centers and allow for easier repair and reuse. The document advocates for open source and collaborative approaches as an effective 21st century economic model that can support circularity.

Screws screws screws and why we do what we do in data processing centres issue03

This document discusses the history and evolution of data center design from the early 1900s to present day. Some key points discussed include: - The origins of standardized 19-inch racks that have influenced data center design for over 100 years, originating from telegraph technology in the 1800s. - The transition from individual components to modular designs over time, such as hard disk drives evolving from individual units to arrays within standard 4-inch widths. - The development of new open standards like the Open Compute Project that utilize larger 21-inch racks while still optimizing for component density and serviceability. - How these historical innovations have shaped the modular, standardized approach used in modern data center design and infrastructure today.

OCP presentation Revolution in Data Centre Innovation

This document discusses innovations in data center design from the Open Compute Project (OCP) Foundation, an open source hardware community. It describes how OCP designs have removed unnecessary components from servers like power supplies, fans, and rails, reducing costs. OCP innovations like open racks can fit more servers using simpler designs that eliminate the need for tools, complex cabling, and rear server access. These changes help optimize resources and make maintenance more efficient, showing that open collaboration can drive further innovation and efficiency gains in data center hardware.

OCP Seminar Wellington New Zealand - John Laban - March 2017

The document discusses how the Open Compute Project (OCP) is disrupting and transforming data centers by removing outdated and proprietary components ("20th century dross") and simplifying designs. Some key changes enabled by OCP include replacing traditional 19-inch racks and cabling on server rear with more open designs, eliminating unnecessary items like access floors and centralized UPS rooms, and advocating for resilience through software solutions rather than hardware redundancy. The adoption of OCP designs and components could significantly reduce costs, waste, and complexity in data centers.

OCP Positive Disruption of the Datacenter Hardware Ecosystem V2

This document discusses positive disruptions to the traditional data center hardware ecosystem in the 21st century. It questions many common 20th century practices like using 19-inch racks, rear server cabling, raised floors, tight temperature controls, centralized UPS and battery rooms. It argues these were based on human design constraints but newer more open source and modular designs remove these limitations. The document aims to reset mindsets around data center design and operations for simpler, more resilient and sustainable solutions using open standards.

The document describes the Silent Revolution wind energy concept by Directtech Global GmbH. It features a vertical axis wind turbine system called the Twin Turbine that can track the wind in any direction without external energy. The system is designed to be integrated into infrastructure to provide decentralized renewable energy and storage. It can power smart cities and rural areas without being grid dependent by operating as nodes in an energy cloud network. The concept aims to strengthen the renewable energy transition through providing economic development and services.

This document discusses empowering smart energy citizens through localized energy supply systems. It outlines a Green Deal between Dutch cities, grid operators, and the Ministry of Economic Affairs to promote innovations in smart energy cities. The deal focuses on five lines of action: 1) smart design and selection of projects using data; 2) matchmaking innovation locations and searches; 3) awareness raising and empowerment of citizens; 4) knowledge sharing; and 5) communication and planning for 2017-2019. Phase 3A of the deal involves 12 kickstart projects in Dutch cities to test localized energy solutions and empower citizens through activities like energy collectives and data sharing. The overall goal is a transition to a more localized and citizen-driven energy supply system by 20

The document discusses the repowermap project, which creates an interactive online map showing real-world renewable energy installations. It notes that over 4.5 million heat pumps were sold in Europe between 2005-2012, though only 17,869 in the UK. It also discusses how social influences can impact consumer purchasing decisions and the goal of the map to show more typical heat pump installations like a German village with 8 homes all using heat pumps. The repowermap project runs from 2012-2014 with goals of collecting 40,000 examples across 10 European countries and hosting hundreds of events annually to promote renewable energy adoption.
