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 I 2

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 I 3
