Certification validates Giga meets all site requirements to serve open compute project (OCP) customers
ATLANTA — The Open Compute Project (OCP) Foundation granted Giga Data Centers LLC OCP-Ready™ status for its Mooresville, North Carolina, data center. An OCP-Ready site complies with all site requirements for a colocation service provider to be able to serve OCP customers and their hardware in its facilities. OCP customers typically require greater flexibility in power to support higher rack-power densities that need to be delivered efficiently and cost-effectively. Such flexibility is becoming increasingly required to support the growing demands that hyper-converged and high-performance computing (HPC) systems have on today’s strained data center infrastructures.
The OCP Foundation’s mission is to enable the mainstream delivery of the most efficient designs for scalable computing. With a guaranteed power use efficiency rating of 1.15 and modular enclosures that optimize the power and cooling to support up to 50 kW per rack cabinet, Giga’s North Carolina colocation facility easily checked off the requirements to achieve OCP-Ready status.
