What Are OCP Servers?
Fundamentals of the Open Compute Platform
At its core, the idea is to make hardware designs openly accessible to accelerate innovation and use resources more efficiently. OCP servers and components follow a standardized, modular system that works independently of individual manufacturers and is specifically designed for large-scale IT infrastructures.
Origin of the Open Compute Project
The Open Compute Project (OCP) was launched by Facebook in 2011 with the goal of making data centers more efficient, scalable, and sustainable. The aim was to develop hardware designs based on open standards while maximizing performance. The OCP server market is projected to reach USD 32.55 billion by 2025 and grow to USD 76.48 billion by 2030, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.63%. Today, the project is supported by a global community of over 200 leading IT companies, including Meta (Facebook), Microsoft, Intel, Google, Amazon, Alibaba, Baidu, Goldman Sachs, Rackspace, and many other hyperscalers and enterprise customers.
Overview of OCP Hardware
OCP servers and components are based on modular designs specifically built for large data centers and cloud environments. These servers stand out with simplified maintenance, high energy efficiency, and optimal space utilization. From motherboards to power supplies, all components follow the principle of openness – ensuring maximum compatibility and flexibility.
How OCP Data Centers increase efficiency and flexibility
OCP servers offer a wide range of benefits that make them an excellent choice for organisations of all sizes. They are not only ideal for large data centers and cloud services.

ORV3 – The New Rack Standard for OCP Servers
Technical Advantages of OCP ORV3 Racks
The third generation of the OCP rack standard, ORV3 (Open Rack v3.0), offers numerous technical improvements. These include:
- Space & Energy Efficiency: Higher packing density and centralized 48V power supply save space and reduce energy consumption.
- Scalability & Flexibility: The modular design enables quick and easy adaptation of racks to evolving requirements.
- Fast Installation & Maintenance: Hot-swappable components and tool-free assembly accelerate installation and maintenance.
- Reduced Operating Costs: Open standards and standardized components significantly lower acquisition and operational costs.
- High Reliability & Safety: Redundant power supplies and touch-safe contacts ensure stable and secure operation.
- Management & Monitoring: Integrated management controllers enable centralized monitoring and control of all rack components.
ORV3 in the OCP Data Center
The use of ORV3 racks in OCP data centers contributes significantly to seamless integration and optimized operation of OCP servers. They are ideal for data centers seeking maximum performance in minimal space.
ORV3 Rack vs. Traditional Rack
Compared to traditional racks, ORV3 solutions offer greater adaptability and efficiency. They reduce complexity, cut operating costs, and provide more flexibility in managing servers and other hardware components.
What Is the Function of the ORV3 Power Shelf?
The ORV3 Power Shelf serves as the central power supply unit within the OCP ORV3 rack: It converts incoming alternating current (AC) into a stable direct current (DC) and distributes it via a busbar to all IT components such as servers and networking devices in the rack. The power shelves are modular, offer high efficiency (up to 98%), and, thanks to hot-swappable power supplies, enable uninterrupted maintenance and flexible scalability of power—with redundancy options for maximum fault tolerance.
Open Compute Server for demanding applications
Thanks to their modular architecture and high degree of customisation, they are particularly well suited for use in demanding IT environments. OCP servers can be used in a wide variety of ways and offer you the flexibility to optimally adapt them to your specific needs.
Data Centers & Cloud Services:
OCP servers have been specially developed for use in large data centers and for cloud services. The high computing power, energy efficiency and scalability of these servers make them ideal for operating web services, databases and complex applications that require continuous availability and fast response times.
OCP Server for Machine Learning & AI:
Open Compute Servers offer the necessary computing power to efficiently execute data-intensive algorithms and complex model training. AI applications place high demands on heat generation, which is why the modular architecture of OCP servers with advanced cooling technologies enables efficient heat dissipation. Thanks to this efficient cooling technology and their modular architecture, OCP servers make it easy to upgrade the hardware so that your company can react flexibly to increasing requirements. This leads to shorter development cycles and optimised scalability for AI applications.
High-Performance Computing (HPC) with OCP Hardware:
For computationally intensive tasks such as simulations and analyses in science and research, the servers impress with maximum performance. Their high density and energy efficiency make them particularly suitable for HPC clusters, which can comprise thousands of processors. They also offer fast, high-capacity memory and powerful network connections to optimally support demanding workloads.
Cloud Computing with Open Compute Servers:
OCP servers guarantee excellent scalability and flexibility for hybrid, private or public cloud environments. Thanks to their scalability and modularity, they can be flexibly adapted to growing requirements, while at the same time they can be easily integrated into existing cloud systems.
OCP Server for various Industries
OCP Hardware is used in numerous industries:
