Raul Alvarez, EMEA Community Project Co-Lead at OCP and  Lead Consultant at Enterprise Industrial Science and Research, shares insights on his background and involvement with the Open Compute Project (OCP). Raul discusses collaborations with companies like Submer for immersion cooling technology and emphasizes the importance of partnerships in the European market for open standards and sustainability.

He explores innovative solutions like using wood in data center infrastructure and underscores the benefits of open source hardware for sustainability and reducing carbon emissions. Raul also touches on OCP's participation in data center events across Europe to drive change through radical solutions like AI and ML, aiming to build a sustainable and open ecosystem in the European data center market.

Daniel Pope, co-founder and CTO of Submer, discusses his journey in data center design and operations. Daniel founded his first data center-related business when he was just sixteen. We go back to the start of Daniel's data center journey and what he learned as an owner-operator that drove him to co-found Submer.

Artificial Intelligence and High-Performance computing have accelerated the energy intensity of our data centers. Much of the market's focus has been on the latest GPUs and the heat generated by these chips. We dive (pun intended) into the next generation of cooling and automation solutions built for much more than just a couple of chips.

Join host Rob Coyle of the Open Compute Project, a foundation focusing on open source designs and specifications. With the Open Compute Project podcast, Rob aims to engage with the global community dedicated to developing efficient designs for scalable computing.

Join us as we discuss data centers, IT hardware, and infrastructure through expert interviews and insightful analysis to empower listeners with the knowledge to make informed decisions and deepen their understanding of the OCP. Your feedback shapes our content, so tune in, engage with our community, and be a part of reshaping hardware technology.
