Presented by Andrew Ruthven

Target audience: Business

Abstract

This talk will review the Open Compute Project, where it came from, where things are now and where things are headed. We will cover benefits that Open Compute Project provide over the typical server hardware that we're used to.

We will discuss how it works for the large scale operators, and the issues that affect the small scale operators from the perspective of a small scale operator.
