    PARTNERSHIPS FOR PROGRESS

    OCP EVOLUTION:

    The Open Compute Project (OCP) plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of the data center industry by driving open innovation, efficiency, and sustainability at scale. Founded in 2011 by Facebook (now Meta) with the goal of reimagining hardware design through open collaboration, OCP has grown into a global community of technology leaders, hyperscalers, and solution providers working together to break down proprietary barriers in data center infrastructure.

    THE OCP MISSION:
    SHARED STANDARDS 

    By openly sharing specifications and best practices, OCP accelerates innovation, reduces costs, and enables more flexible, interoperable systems across the industry. Today, its mission continues to center on creating more efficient, sustainable, and scalable data center and computing infrastructure that can meet the demands of an increasingly digital world. By bringing together hyperscalers, enterprises, and technology providers, OCP establishes shared standards that reduce complexity, accelerate deployment, and lower total cost of ownership. Its mission—to redesign hardware and infrastructure for greater efficiency and environmental responsibility—aligns directly with the evolving demands of modern data centers, where performance, scalability, and energy optimization are no longer optional, but essential.

    PRODUCT SUPPORT:
    THE OCP MARKETPLACE 

    As the industry rapidly evolves, several key trends are reshaping data center design: the rise of AI and high-performance computing workloads, the transition to liquid cooling to manage increasing thermal densities, and the push toward modular, scalable infrastructure. OCP is at the forefront of advancing these trends by fostering collaborative innovation around next-generation cooling architectures, standardizing interoperable components, and promoting sustainable design practices. Through its community-driven approach, OCP enables faster adoption of technologies that support higher compute performance while reducing environmental impact.

    WHY IS GATES INVOLVED IN THE OPEN COMPUTE PROJECT?

    NOT JUST A SUPPLIER, A CONTRIBUTOR

    "The data center market is evolving faster than any single company can track alone. OCP gives Gates a seat at the table where the next generation of infrastructure is being defined, not just as a supplier, but as a contributor. The current demands of liquid cooling don't allow us to design for where power densities and thermal loads have been — only for where they're going. OCP membership has accelerated how we develop, validate, and bring to market the fluid conveyance and thermal management solutions that hyperscale operators will depend on as AI workloads continue to redefine what cooling infrastructure must deliver."

    THE INFORMATION I NEED FOR NEXT GENERATION ENGINEERING 

    "What OCP membership has changed for me as an engineer is access — to the people, the specifications, and the real-world performance requirements that are shaping next-generation data center architecture. Scaling direct liquid cooling across the industry is an unsolved engineering challenge, and solving it requires collaboration across every layer of the infrastructure stack. Gates brings deep fluid system expertise to that work, and OCP is where that expertise can have the most impact."
