- 22. OCP Networking Project Monday, September 30, 13
- 23. How does OCP create value? Measuring open computes success ▪ We think of two levers when we measure OCP. ▪ Technology contributions e.g. Intel’s SiPho contribution. ▪ Adoption of open compute product e.g. Rackspace, Riotgames. Monday, September 30, 13
- 24. Contributions The contribution pipeline is considered successful ▪ Full stack; rack, compute, storage, interconnects, networking. ▪ January summit we received 10 outside contributions. Monday, September 30, 13
- 25. Adoption The adoption pipeline is considered successful ▪ Rackspace, Riot Games are the public examples. ▪ There are many other examples of corporations adopting or testing OCP gear (Finserv and scale compute markets). Monday, September 30, 13
- 26. What is OCP’s operational framework? This framework enables the foundation to pull the contribution and adoption levers ▪ Community is pillar #1. ▪ without community you have nothing. ▪ Economics is pillar #2. ▪ the foundation must create economic value. ▪ Institutional support is pillar #3. ▪ Very important in the long term. Complex and resource intensive. Monday, September 30, 13
- 27. Community enablement Tools, Knowledge sharing, self-organizing community. ▪ Tools ▪ Kicad, Grabcad, Upverter, wiki, spec’s. ▪ Knowledge sharing ▪ Engineering workshops, discussion groups, feedback loops. ▪ Self-organizing communities. ▪ OCPT, OCPT, Project Scorpio Monday, September 30, 13
- 28. ▪ China ▪ Tokyo ▪ Taiwan ▪ Korea ▪ Russia Monday, September 30, 13
- 29. Regional chapters What has to happen in the regions ▪ Build on the existing community both in volume and velocity. ▪ Drive economic value in the form of contributions and adoption. ▪ Build out a recurring sponsorship pipeline to enable the community to organize. Monday, September 30, 13
- 30. 3. The APAC story OCP APAC is accelerating in volume and velocity ▪ Project Scorpio. ▪ Competitors working together. ▪ OCPJ ▪ Informal networks self-organizing. ▪ OCPT ▪ Went from zero to 60 in less than five months. Monday, September 30, 13
