About OCP

The Open Compute Project (OCP) is the engine driving the future of data centers, AI, and a broad spectrum of computational infrastructure. We don't just innovate technology - we accelerate progress by making technology open, efficient, scalable and sustainable. We believe that by building a community where the world's leading experts and companies collaborate, we can solve the grand challenges of computational infrastructure faster than any single organization can alone.

Our team is here to lead a universally beneficial, open platform for next-generation technology.

We succeed through transparency, deep collaboration and a relentless focus on community engagement. As a non-profit foundation, our success is measured by the connections we build, the participation we inspire, and the innovations that result from our member’s collective work. We create the framework, the programs, the events, and the processes that transform ideas into impact.
