Bringing the OCP Global Summit Home
The first OCP Virtual Summit is a wrap! Kicking off on Tuesday with Ali Fenn’s Keynote (viewed by more that 3000 people live online) and continuing with a series of interactive sessions, engineering workshops and chats with visitors in our virtual booth throughout the week, the opportunities to exchange and advance ideas on open tech and circularity were non-stop.
Thank you to all of our customers and partners, as well as the executives, technologists and industry pioneers who connected with us over the 4-day event. If you missed any of our sessions, or are looking for materials from the event, we’ve put everything in one place to make it easy.
Check them all out below.
KEYNOTE
A Global Circular IT Industry: Opportunity and Imperative
Speaker: Ali Fenn, President
The OCP community is doing a great job advancing operational energy efficiency. But without assessing pre-use (embodied) and post-EOL costs of massive infrastructure scaling, we’re only solving 1/3 of the environmental impact puzzle. Ali Fenn addresses what’s at stake and what it will take. And why the time is now to operationalize circular data centers to redefine lifetimes, maximize financial and sustainability value, and democratize access to growth.
EXPO TALK
Open Uncomplicated
Speaker: Erik Riedel, SVP, Compute & Storage Solutions
Join Erik as he proves that “Open for All” isn’t just a utopian vision, its real and ready today: pre-configured, plug-in-ready rack-scale solutions, built on open architecture. No assembly. No guesswork. No army of engineers required. Now anyone can power their data center like a hyperscaler, while lowering their TCO and upping their sustainability game.
EXECUTIVE SESSION
The TCO of OCP
Speaker: Ali Fenn, President
The world’s largest data center owners leverage open hardware to optimize TCO and refresh cycles, and minimize CO2e impact. Now ITRenew’s circular economic model makes the same financial and sustainability opportunity available to broader global markets. Ali shares the real-world data and is joined by Hydro66 to show the impact of the model in action.
