Juha Kosonen, Nokia, Mika Rautakumpu, Nokia The Open Compute Project (OCP) is a collaborative community focused on redesigning hardware technology to efficiently support the growing demands on compute infrastructure. The designs have been optimized to lower cost of infrastructure and operations e.g. by removing non-essential components, disaggregating rack level solution with common resources, and simplifying server serviceability. OpenStack provides the foundation for the NFVI and MANO components within OPNFV. OPNFV releases Colorado and recent Danube have been successfully integrated to OCP hardware and running smoothly. Also hardware acceleration is supported. The concept itself has gained a lot of interest from mobile operators, some of them are running OPNFV on top of OCP hardware in their test laboratories too. This presentation will introduce how OpenStack, OCP and OPNFV open source projects fits perfectly together.

5. OpenComputeProject (OCP)
- What is OCP

6. Open Compute for hyperscale efficiency
Facebook started Open Compute Project (OCP) in 2011 to
share and foster innovation for most energy efficient and
economical datacenters
Today, many of world’s biggest cloud/Internet companies are
participating: Microsoft, LinkedIn, Apple, Bank of America…
OCP has brought up blueprints for compute, storage and
networking that are derived directly from hyper-scale
innovations
“Thanks to OCP and related efficiency work, Facebook is announcing that it has
saved more than $2 billion in infrastructure costs over the course since 2011.”
Facebook, March 2015
Industry-wide initiative to share datacenter specifications and best practices

8. Why OCP hardware
• OCP is designed to lower cost of infrastructure
- Vanity free design without any unnecessary components
- Disaggregated rack level solution with common resources (e.g. power and storage)
- Lower weight by removing unnecessary materials
• OCP is designed to lower cost of operations
- Tool-less serviceability of hardware
- Maintenance operations from the front enable strict hot aisle containment
- Efficient cooling and higher operation temperature enabling low PUE (<1.1)
 Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

9. Open Hardware – OCP
OCP delivers industry leading density per rack and enables lean operations
Improves floor Space
Cool
aisle
Hot
aisle
25K servers /One operative
No special tools required
Simpler hardware tasks, 4x
faster to perform than on
traditional servers
OCP Data Centers perform with high efficiency Low PUE helps reduce OPEX and emissions
OCP Data Center
consumes 35% less
energy than a
traditional Data
Center
Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE)
measures how efficiently a Data
Center uses energy
Overall reduction in number of
racks required compared to
traditional rack mount 50% improved density in OCP
compared to rack mount:
Access only required from cool
aisle
High Rack Efficiency

24. Use the standard fuel CLI to install the just copied Mellanox plug-in:
# cd /tmp
# fuel plugins –-install mellanox-plugin-3.x-x.x.x-x.noarch.rpm

26. Bootstrap image building
The default Ubuntu bootstrap image was
missing one package libnl1, which was
required by the Mellanox plug-in. We
needed to edit one YAML file and make
two changes to it, before we tried to re-
create the updated Ubuntu bootstrap
image.
# vi /etc/fuel-bootstrap-
cli/fuel_bootstrap_cli.yaml
create_mellanox_bootstrap --link_type eth
--max_num_vfs 16

27. After the bootstrap creation program has completed, check that a new bootstrap has been made and is now active,
using the fuel-bootstrap CLI:
# fuel-bootstrap list

29. Summary

30. 9 March, 2017
” Nokia has worked with AT&T to dimension and deliver
an initial mixed rack of compute and storage to the AT&T
Foundry innovation center, in Plano TX. This platform is
slated to support AT&T solution development, and
OPNFV evaluation. Nokia’s product portfolio closely
aligns with the Facebook released OpenRackv2
specifications.”
AirFrame includes the necessary hardware, software and
services that can adapt to any cloud-based application
The acceleration of telco and IT convergence and the need to
support a diverse range of demanding applications requires
an innovative solution that takes all the benefits from the IT
and open source domains to create a scalable and distributed
cloud-based architecture.
