Server/NIC
Welcome
Welcome to the OCP NIC sub-project under OCP Server Project.
The Open Compute Project (OCP) NIC (Network Interface Card) project group is a community-driven initiative that aims to develop and promote open and disaggregated NIC solutions for the data center. The group's charter includes:
- Developing specifications and standards for OCP NICs, hardware and firmware interfaces, to ensure interoperability and compatibility among different vendors' products.
- Encouraging innovation and collaboration among members to drive the development of new and improved NIC technologies that meet the needs of the data center & enterprise server industry.
- Promoting the adoption of OCP NICs in the data center market by providing education and awareness about the benefits of OCP NIC solutions.
- Fostering a community of developers, users, and vendors to contribute to the development and growth of the OCP NIC ecosystem.
- Providing a forum for members to share their experiences, best practices, and use cases related to OCP NICs, and to collaborate on solutions to common challenges.
The goal of this sub-project is to form a healthy ecosystem in OCP NIC space, under OCP framework
Sub Project Lead
Guideline
We are here to build a supportive, informative and inclusive community:
Supportive
- Support implementation questions
- Evaluate new use cases
Informative
- Share the latest topics and trends related to OCP NIC spec
- Share both challenges and opportunities
Inclusive
- Take community feedback and make iterations to proposal before submitting major revision to work group and IC
- Open to both adopters, and observers
