Telcos Board OCP BandwagonThe Open Compute Project (OCP) has crossed the Rubicon with Wednesday's news that it has created the OCP Telco Project. The announcement is noteworthy because it marks a step up the evolutionary ladder for OCP. A small team of Facebook engineers founded OCP five years ago in an electronics lab in the basement of the company's Palo Alto, Calif., headquarters. Since then its membership has grown to more than 200 members. (See Open Compute Project Hits Critical Mass.) By starting with a clean slate, OCP was able to simplify and modernize data center technology. OCP has continued to evolve by building around open source contributions for networking, servers and storage. With the formation of the OCP Telco Project, service providers now stand to benefit from those open computing technologies. One of the stated goals of the OCP Telco Project is bringing OCP's open hardware and software components to telco data center infrastructure, which will lead to increased agility and cost savings. The OCP has landed AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T), Deutsche Telekom AG (NYSE: DT), EE , SK Telecom (Nasdaq: SKM) and Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE: VZ) as charter members of its new telecommunications forum. (See Major Telcos Join Facebook's Open Compute Project.) — Mike Robuck, editor, Telco Transformation |
