Top 5 Considerations for Transitioning to

Open Compute

Curt Belusar / June 12, 2014

#HPHyperscale

Open Compute

It’s a religion

Started at Facebook

• Morphed into a standards/specifications body: Open Compute Foundation

• Board of Directors charters the projects and appoints new Project Committee chairs • Scope: open specifications

• Server platforms and management • Rack infrastructure

• Power supply, distribution, and UPS • Storage

(5)

Know Your Open Compute

OpenRack Open Compute Servers

• 1/3 width servers • OpenRack

• ½ width servers • 19” racks

• Microsoft Open Cloud Server

Three Power Zones Three Bus Bars

Two Power Zones One Bus Bar

One Power Zone Three Bus Bars

(6)

5. Scale and volume

OCP platforms designed, built, and

shipped to a few customers

• OCP specification compliance does not mean it’s mass-produced or widely available

• OCP servers are built in batches and shipped in volume for the configs consumed by

Facebook, etc

• If you want material changes to the servers, you may need to consume them in volume • Prepared to buy in volume?

(7)

4. Practical implementation

OCP racks do not fit 19” standard servers

• OCP racks accommodate servers that are 21” (53.8 cm) wide and on height

increments of Open U’s (48mm)

• External power shelf is required and a 3mm bus bar distributes 12V power to the server • Servers are front-cabled (network switch

airflow reversed, etc)

• Widely available industry standard servers do not fit in Open Racks

(8)

3. In-house expertise

OCP standards and specifications

continue to evolve

• Technical expertise is required

• Servers, I/O • Power

• Management standards/tools

• What does your application require?

• Existing standards are evolving

• New standards and specifications are being created all the time

(9)

2. Supply chain, service and support

OCP and self - support

• You will need deployment scripting and standard management tool experts • What happens when you need a

replacement part?

• Ready to deal with warranty returns to commodity vendors ?

• You may need to develop supplier relationships .

• Need global supply, service and support? • See #3: need in-house expertise or become

reliant on a select few

(10)

1. Participation in the community

Shaping OCP standards and

specifications requires active

participation

• OCP will continue to evolve

• Time to know all the new OCP standards and specifications, and determine if they’re a good fit for your workloads

• Fit your specific environment?

• Have to participate on a number of OCP projects to help shape them to meet your needs

(11)

Top 5 Considerations

5. Volume/scale

4. Practicality of implementation, e.g.

open rack

3. In-house expertise

2. Global supply chain, service and

support

1. Active participation in the community

(12)

HP - Foxconn partnership

• Pool our best-in-class competencies in

an exclusive commercial joint venture

• Launch a dedicated Cloud product line

for Service Providers

• Right features at optimal cost –

efficiency end-to-end from sales to

design to manufacturing and service
