Project Leads
Jeroen Burks, Raúl Álvarez

OCP Technology and Vertical Projects are discussed as applicable across this region. These regional meetings will occur in correlation to local European time zones, in English and will modify requirements as suitable.

As long as the scope of these projects stays in line with the OCP Tenets and Respective Project Charters, these regions have a lot of flexibility to collaborate on OCP requirements and provide unique solutions to local adopters.

Project Leadership:

  • EMEA Co-lead: Raúl Álvarez (Open Compute Project Foundation)
  • EMEA Regional Lead BENELUX & Co-lead: Jeroen Burks (Thermoit)
  • EMEA Regional Lead France: François Tournesac (Impleon)
  • EMEA Regional Lead DACH: Christian Berendt (23technologies.cloud)
  • EMEA Regional Lead Nordics: Çagatay Yilmaz (RISE Institutes of Sweden)
  • EMEA Regional Lead Southern Europe: Rubén García (Rittal)
  • EMEA Regional Lead UK & Ireland: Paul Statham (Atlancis)

Scope

The monthly OCP European workstream calls should help focusing on European market demands, since the current OCP approach is well approved in the hyperscale data centre market and mainly in the US.

The dedicated OCP subgroup calls for Europe will support OCP adaptation of regular data centres and help ordinary clients to shift to OCP data centre gear.

Therefore, the EU OCP calls with the focus on the European data centre market, should cover the following:

  • What components of OCP gear are available in Europe?
  • Who can provide support in Europe?
  • Where can deployed OCP gear be shown to customers?
  • Include brief introduction meetings to OCP work streams like cooling environments, data center facilities and others and their European participants.
  • Evaluate obstacles for the European market on adopting OCP gear.

The overall aim of the monthly European OCP subgroup calls is to increase the know-how about OCP in Europe and to help the European market to make use of OCP gear within its data centre sites.
