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. | Initially introduced in November 2016 and with V1.0 contribution in November 2017, Project Olympus addresses several cloud workloads for Microsoft Azure.

Project Olympus base specification defines a modular architecture with clear internal and external interfaces. 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. | 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. | ||
