ScaleUp becomes official member of the Open Compute Foundation

Open Compute Community Member
As of 2023, ScaleUp Technologies has become an official member of the Open Compute Project Foundation.

We are pleased and hope that we can make our contribution to make Open Compute Hardware even better known in the DACH region. We are convinced, Open Compute Hardare is the future. ScaleUp will also be a sponsor for the first time for the Regional OCP Summit 2023, which will take place in Prague on April 19-20.

We have already talked about OCP and the advantages of Open Compute Hardware in the article "Open Compute Hardware Makes Data Centers Fit for Green IT". informs.

What is the Open Compute Foundation?

Behind OCP is an international open community, the Open Compute Project Foundation. The OCP Foundation was originally launched by Facebook in 2011 to make IT hardware technology for data centers more modular, efficient and scalable.

Why is Open Compute Hardware relevant?

Open source software is now in use everywhere. Open source hardware, on the other hand, is even less established. But interest in vendor-independent, modular hardware is growing. The market for OCP hardware has grown steadily in recent years. By the way: OCP hardware is also an integral part of the SDIA Roadmap for a CO2-neutral digital infrastructure by 2030, as called for by the EU Commission in the European Green Deal. 

Supply chain issues and the need for Green IT are currently giving Open Hardware a boost. For a few years now, ScaleUp has been increasingly relying on Open Compute (OCP) and Rack Scale Hardware for its own cloud infrastructure and is now also selling it in the DACH region. In summer 2022, our OCP-based, new cloud infrastructure went live in Hamburg. This runs particularly sustainably on refurbished (Second Life) Open Compute hardware. The modular OCP hardware, reduced to essential components, runs particularly efficiently and enables energy savings of 15-20%.
