==Welcome==

Welcome to the Project Olympus Sub-Group. Project Olympus is Microsoft's next generation rack-level solution that is open-sourced through Open Compute Project. [https://channel9.msdn.com/Series/Microsoft-Global-Datacenters/Microsoft-Project-Olympus (Video Introduction)]

The charter of Project Olympus sub-group within OCP Server Project is to enable the OCP community to further explore, invent, collaborate, enhance, and produce great solutions for customers using Project Olympus modular building blocks. 

Initially introduced in November 2016 and with V1.0 contribution in November 2017, Project Olympus addresses several cloud workloads for Microsoft Azure. Since inception, Project Olympus has attracted a large group of partners such as compute silicon providers, ODMs, OEMs, and component manufacturers. It is becoming the de facto open-compute standard for cloud workloads.

Project Olympus base specification defines a modular architecture with clear internal and external interfaces. Hardware modules include Rack, Universal PDU, Rack Manager, 1U/2U Server and mechanical Enclosures, Power Supply, Universal Motherboard, PCIe Riser Boards, and Expansion Modules for storage and accelerators; while, Software/Firmware components include RESTful API, Rack Manager Software/Firmware interface, BMC Firmware, System BIOS/UEFI Firmware, and Software APIs.

Project Olympus comprises these Hardware and Software Modules to realize a holistic rack architecture; however, individual Modules are applicable to Racks, Chassis, Rack Managers, PDUs, PSUs, Blades and Motherboards from other architectures such as OCP Open Rack, Open Rack 19, Scorpio, 19” EIA Rack, Rack-mount Servers, and Tower Servers.

While, Microsoft is planning design and product implementations based on Project Olympus specification, we encourage the community to use as-is, buy/sell as-is, modify to use or sell, and to provide feedback on any of these software or hardware Modules.

===Project Olympus Modular System Design===
Project Olympus is a modular system designed for convergence of the industry ecosystem to enable onboarding more hardware more quickly.  The systems are designed for the needs of scale-up systems.

===Project Olympus Rack System===
Project Olympus is built upon a base Rack, 42U or 48U tall, with integrated A/C power distribution and rack-level management.
