Here is a slide presented. The main point is the obsolesence of 19 inch width.
Frank did his homework and has found the history of where 19 inch racks where established for rail switches.
Frank demonstrates thinking like a supply chain thinking with industrial engineering concepts.
And, has studied the issues in the data center operations.
Open Compute Project rallied a diverse group of companies to work on Open Rack.
Vanity Free Design, no plastic bezels, OCP practice
Frank Frankovsky, VP of Hardware Design and Supply Chain is keynoting the Open Compute Summit.
One of his points is how plastic bezels should disappear. The bezel impedes the air flow and is a waste when it gets added to the waste stream.
Do you think the world is better with pretty bezels? Hopefully most of you say no.
I'll get a chance to look at more of the hardware as the day goes on.
Will the data center server room start to look more like an industrial area than an IT showcase?
