The Open Compute Project and associated subprojects such as open edge are transforming the enterprise network and server market. By rethinking the hardware and infrastructure stack and addressing these issues via common, modular and cost-effective architectures, IT organizations that adopt OCP technologies can better keep pace with changing business needs. The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) can harness innovations from commercial and open community-based initiatives like these as part of their Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) acquisition strategy to rapidly and affordably field enhanced capabilities in the battlefield. Learn how the DOD can bridge the gap between its MOSA mandate and commercial OCP-based projects and standards in this white paper.
