Transcript of Open Compute and the History of the Open Source Data Center
The Open Source Data Center
Cole CrawfordOpen Compute Foundation
A Platform for innovation
Open Source Software - The Beginning
“Hello everybody out there using minix —
I’m doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won’t be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones..”
Free Unix!
“Starting this Thanksgiving I am going to write a complete Unix-compatible software system called GNU (for Gnu's Not Unix), and give it away free(1) to everyone who can use it. Contributions of time, money, programs and equipment are greatly needed”.

In the beginning - HardwareThe current rack standard has no specification for depth or height.The only “standard” is the requirement for it to be 19 inches wide.
This standard evolved out of the railroad switching era.

• Storage
5 Main Verticals – All Open Source
What is it?
Who is it?
Why does it exist?
To democratize hardware and eliminate gartuitous differentiation allowing for standardization across tier 1’s and ODMs.

State of the Union
▪ Production Ready Open Source Software▪ Vanity Free Open Source Hardware
Where do we go from here?
The New Standard - Open Compute Certification
Validated reference architectures for any combination of hardware + software
Turn key supply chain management for hardware procurement
Ready to run bare metal provisioning – fully supported by ISV’s / SI’s / Distros
Validated Reference Architecture
• Turn Key certification• SI integration• Instant global channel creation• ODM’s become hardware partners• Supply Chain management becomes simple• Support throughout server / software lifecycle
