The Open Compute Project (OCP) fosters an ecosystem where global community members including hyperscalers, telecom providers, enterprise IT users and suppliers collaborate to innovate server and storage technologies. This initiative promotes the development and mainstream adoption of the most effective designs for scalable computing environments.
Key principles include the open sharing of ideas, specifications and intellectual property, which OCP asserts as crucial for maximizing innovation and reducing complexity in technology components. This ethos supports the development of commodity hardware that is not only more efficient but also flexible and scalable, challenging the traditional limitations imposed by proprietary, standardized equipment.
Molex actively contributes to the OCP community, focusing on next-generation data center technologies and customer collaboration, driven by the growing demands for disaggregated hardware solutions for the cloud.
