The benefits of integrating the ORv3 standard from OCP into Submer’s line of immersion tanks include:
- Hyperscalers and Tier-III datacenters most used format.
- Power efficiency and cable reduction thanks to the power distribution through busbars.
- Unique tank depth size thanks to the standard defined.
- Increased number of component density peer server thanks to the 21″ standard and PSU removal.
- No screws or risk of small components falling down onto the tank while operating the IT HW.
Key Characteristics of the SmartPod OCP Open Rack v3
Increased Power Capacity – The SmartPod EVO with ORv3 form factor is capable of running up to 140 kW of IT compute per tank. This increased power capacity enables data centres to seamlessly accommodate more demanding workloads and higher-performance computing hardware.
Universal Power Distribution – The ORv3 standard features enable a universal power distribution design with compatibility from 48V to 54V power supply. This flexibility empowers datacenter operators to reduce the number of power cords present and rely on the busbar power distribution for a much higher level of operational efficiency.
Improved Cable Management – The SmartPod EVO with ORv3 form factor includes enhanced cable management features designed to streamline the organization of network data cables. The patch panels and lateral supports allow an improved cable structure for network-related cords (Fiber and UTP).
Enhanced Component Support – It accommodates different types of IT equipment, including various form factors and configurations, making it a versatile solution for different data center workloads.
