The Open Compute Project (OCP) is a community-driven initiative that brings together hyperscale data center operators, industry players, telecom providers, colocation providers, and enterprise IT users. This diverse community collaborates with vendors to develop and commercialize open innovations that are deployed from the cloud to the edge. The OCP Foundation plays a crucial role in fostering and serving this community, as well as in seeding new open solutions that can shape the future of the IT industry.

By investing in strategic initiatives, such as AI and ML, optics, sustainable data center solutions, power management, cooling techniques, composable silicon, and sustainability, OCP prepares the IT ecosystem for major changes. An example of their groundbreaking work is the Open Enterprise Edge Gateway, which was announced at the recent OCP Regional Summit in Prague 2023. This gateway is designed to revolutionize the industry by redefining IT standards.

Participating in OCP is open to anyone, and the community welcomes individuals and organizations to join and contribute to their projects. The upcoming 2023 OCP Global Summit is set to be their biggest and best event yet, bringing together industry leaders and experts to shape the future of open computing
