Scalable and Efficient Solutions with OCP
The Future of Open Source Ecosystem
The Open Compute Project (OCP) is a collaborative community focused on redesigning hardware technology to efficiently support the growing demands on compute infrastructure. In 2011, the OCP Foundation was initiated with a mission to apply the benefits of open source and open collaboration to hardware and rapidly increase the pace of innovation. Its collaboration model is now being widely applied in fields like data centers, telecom industry, and edge infrastructure.
GIGABYTE aims to provide the most diverse product lines to fit all use cases. With that in mind, GIGABYTE offers OCP solutions, including computational components such as add-on cards, compute nodes, and storage nodes, and further expands the product lineup to cover trays and racks. With all necessary parts made by a single company, GIGABYTE ensures that product performance is optimized and provides a complete rack solution for easy adoption of the OCP ecosystem.

Similar to its air cooling and direct liquid cooling counterparts, the single-phase immersion cooling solution covers everything, from add-on cards to the immersion tank. This next-generation cooling solution is perfect for companies interested in adopting more environmentally friendly and cost-effective alternatives while wanting to avoid the complicated and time-consuming verification process.

Immersion TankWhy the Open Compute Project
-
Enhanced Airflow
Keeping the same cabinet width, the wider and taller chassis design allows better airflow, accommodating the increasing heat from server components.
-
Improved Power Efficiency
The unified power shelf design simplifies the maintenance and reduces power consumption by utilizing PSU at the capacity with better efficiency.
-
Easy Management
I/Os are regulated to face towards the front and be hot-pluggable. Bringing convenience to users and improving overall system manageability.
OCP Improves Flexibility and Scalability in Data Centers

ML & AI
Training algorithms for AI applications requires a large amount of parallel processing power, delivered by dense GPU deployments. A large number of high-powered GPUs leads to massive energy consumption and produces a lot of heat. With the focus on thermal efficiency and scalability, GIGABYTE OCP servers provide the best solutions for large scale ML and AI adoption in data centers.

HPC
High performance computing (HPC) relies on high compute performance from CPU and/or accelerators to process large volumes of data or run various simulations. For the amount of data, they too need high speed or high-capacity storage paired with fast networking for clusters. GIGABYTE OCP servers, along with GIGABYTE OCP add-on cards line-up, provide various options to customers looking for configurations for specific applications.

Cloud Computing
As computing transitions toward the cloud, more and more requirements start to be emphasized in cloud infrastructures, other than a stable and powerful system. The ability to quickly process and transmit data, the ease of managing massive-scale systems, and the right storage architecture and networking capabilities are all essential. GIGABYTE OCP servers can handle all of these requirements while ensuring scalability for future scale-up and scale-out to meet the exponentially increasing need in cloud computing.
