What is the Open Compute Project?

The Open Compute Project Foundation is a Delaware corporation under IRC 501(c)(6). The Open Compute Project is a rapidly growing community of engineers around the world whose mission is to design and enable the delivery of the most efficient server, storage and data center hardware designs available for scalable computing. Currently there are nine Project Groups that individuals and organizations can get involved with and participate in.
