2、ENTSSUSTAINABILITYThis talk presents a detailed design study of several OCP hyperscale systems vs previous server&rack designs,including trade-offs&choices that reduce complexity,reduce costs,increase performance,and increase scalability.We will also quantify that a clear side-effect of these choice

3、s is to reduce the carbon footprint of data center deployments&operations.These carbon savings arise from both operational&scope 3 benefits,and they continue to accrue the longer systems are productively utilized.The power of collaborative,“out of the box”design approaches that have crossed traditio

4、nal industry silos across hardware,software,&operations have enabled innovative designs that have proven their value and influence across the industry.The fact that these designs were pursued with simplicity and efficiency in mind mean that they also inherently consume less resources in both energy,

6、mance,&increased efficiency at scale.By reviewing a small subset of open hardware designs from the 10 year history of the Open Compute Project,we will outline the clear engineering trade-offs that were made,and the resulting gains in efficiency&scalable deployment.Attendees will also learn how these
