OPEN UNCOMPLICATED SIMULTANEOUS SCALING FOR USER AND APPLICATION GROWTH Erik Riedel, PhD Senior VP, Engineering | ITRenew @RiedelAtWork

Hyperscale for All: Powering the Circular Data Center ITRenew delivers maximum financial & sustainability returns from open technology CIRCULAR CLOUD DECOMMISSIONING SESAME BY ITRENEW EDGE SOLUTIONS Strategic Advisory Services and Data Security Rack-Scale Solutions and Components Infrastructure planning Data center decommissioning services Rack-scale solutions for data centers Edge solutions & building blocks TCO & Sustainability Modeling Teraware data sanitization platform Open systems, HCI, AI/ML Server components Breakthrough TCO Laptop and PC memory Lifetime value maximization Value Recovery ($1B+ TCO to date) End-to-end logistics solutions

We have the proof that Open for All is not just a utopian vision, it is real and ready today: preconfigured, plug-in-ready rack-scale solutions, built on open architecture. No assembly. No guesswork. Soz No army of engineers required. Now anyone can power their data center like a hyperscaler while dropping their TCO and upping their sustainability game.

Massive budgets and talent pools The big cloud providers have all the advantages Most advanced technology Greatest flexibility to scale Lowest costs

If everyone had the advantages, they could… Deliver more new services Respond faster to customer needs Grow the user base Increase margins & accelerate growth

Open Is Necessary, But Not Sufficient Per Se design, engineering and product expertise, rigorous commitment to component quality [hardware] design, engineering and product expertise, rigorous commitment to component quality from capacitors to consensus algorithms to cognitive load wide dynamic range of skills must be applied & appreciated ORCHESTRATING AN OPEN HARDWARE + OPEN SOFTWARE STACK [software] requires baseline partnership across hardware & software devops – collaboration from designers & developers to operations automation, analytics, and machine learning for all the things can’t be efficient at hyperscale without the machines making many, most decisions

The Benefits of Open Hardware MORE FLEXIBILITY HIGH DENSITY COMPUTING OPTIMIZED POWER OPTIMIZED COOLING STREAMLINED MAINTENANCE Multi-vendor, standards-based hardware for modular solutions to fit your needs More server, storage, and network capacity, in less space saves costs Rack-level power vs. individual server power. More efficient. Less cost. Fewer points of failure Rack-level cooling to operate more efficiently. Even more with free-air cooling, if the data centers support it Flexible, easy-access design enables faster troubleshooting, updates, and upgrades

The Benefits of Open Software MORE FLEXIBILITY HIGH DENSITY COMPUTING OPTIMIZED POWER OPTIMIZED VALIDATION STREAMLINED MAINTENANCE Multi-vendor, standards-based software for modular solutions to fit your needs More automation, with API-driven scalability, allows more software per silicon in2 Stack-level power vs. individual packaged software. More efficient. Less cost. Fewer points of failure Stack-level continuous integration, continuous deployment (CI/CD) to validate more efficiently. Fewer points of failure in the field Flexible, API-based, devops-considered design enables faster troubleshooting, updates, and upgrades
