Impact of Open Compute


OCP Networking Project


How does OCP create value?Measuring open computes success

▪We think of two levers when we measure OCP.▪ Technology contributions e.g. Intel’s SiPho contribution.▪Adoption of open compute product e.g. Rackspace, Riotgames.


ContributionsThe contribution pipeline is considered successful

▪Full stack; rack, compute, storage, interconnects, networking.▪ January summit we received !" outside contributions.


AdoptionThe adoption pipeline is considered successful

▪Rackspace, Riot Games are the public examples.▪There are many other examples of corporations adopting or testing

OCP gear (Finserv and scale compute markets).


What is OCP’s operational framework?

This framework enables the foundation to pull the contribution and adoption levers

▪Community is pillar #!.▪ without community you have nothing.

▪Economics is pillar ##.▪ the foundation must create economic value.

▪ Institutional support is pillar #$.▪ Very important in the long term. Complex and resource intensive.


Community enablementTools, Knowledge sharing, self-organizing community.

▪Tools▪Kicad, Grabcad, Upverter, wiki, spec’s.

▪Knowledge sharing▪ Engineering workshops, discussion groups, feedback loops.

▪Self-organizing communities.▪OCPT, OCPT, Project Scorpio


▪China▪ Tokyo▪ Taiwan▪Korea▪Russia


Regional chaptersWhat has to happen in the regions

▪Build on the existing community both in volume and velocity.▪Drive economic value in the form of contributions and adoption.▪Build out a recurring sponsorship pipeline to enable the community

to organize.


$. The APAC storyOCP APAC is accelerating in volume and velocity

▪Project Scorpio.▪Competitors working together.

▪OCPJ▪ Informal networks self-organizing.

▪OCPT ▪Went from zero to %" in less than five months.
