OCP delivers industry Green datacenters
Power Usage Effectiveness

leading density per rack

(PUE) measures how efficiently
a Data Center uses energy

and Lean operations

Top 3 OCP benefits:
Low PUE reduces OPEX and emissions
1. Improve footprint efficiency
OCP Data Center
2. Green datacenters consumes 35% less
No special tools required
energy than a traditional
3. Operational efficiency Data Center Simpler hardware tasks, 4x
faster to perform than on
traditional servers
Improves floor space
High Rack Efficiency 25K servers /operative
utilization

OCP is enjoying high adoption rate driven by multiple verticals
”Telco OCP spend will surpass Non-Board* hyperscalers in 2021”

“Growth rate of OCP Non-Board*

revenue in high double digits out to
2021” à $6Bn market in 2021

“Telcos increase POCs in 2017,

production trials ramp in 2018, scale
deployments 2019+”

* Report excluded OCP Board members Facebook, Microsoft and Rackspace, including them would approximately double the market

Open data center • Real-time data for automated operations
management solution • Increase utilization of servers and improve power efficiency
1. Vendor-agnostic hardware • Analytics for smart capacity planning for future workloads
management • Automated datacenter deployment using Ansible
2. Open south-bound and north-
bound APIs (Redfish, Customer trial in Europe: OpenRack automated deployment with
IPMI,RESTful etc.) AirFrame Datacenter Management
