  • Open Compute Project Solutions

    Eaton is now offering ORV3 solutions, combining OCP innovation with off-the-shelf convenience.

Eaton and the Open Compute Project

The Open Compute Project (OCP) was founded by Facebook, Rackspace and Intel in 2011 to apply open-source principles to data centre hardware design with the goal of increasing innovation while reducing cost. Eaton has been an OCP member since 2017 and displayed new products at the 2022 OCP Global Summit on 18–20 October 2022

Combining OCP innovation with off-the-shelf convenience

With preconfigured, tested and validated solutions, Eaton allows its customers to deploy OCP ORV3 racks for testing or production without making a costly engineering commitment. Eaton’s reference designs are also fully customisable to meet the needs of individual customers and IT environments.

Eaton’s OCP open-source hardware solutions eliminate:

  • Need for large engineering teams to design OCP-compliant hardware
  • Lack of choice in solution providers 
  • Lack of established, familiar and trusted solution providers 
  • Lack of off-the-shelf solutions 
  • Lack of easily customisable solutions 
  • Lack of transitional solutions that can support OCP-compliant 21-inch and EIA-complaint 19-inch hardware simultaneously

Discover the features of Eaton’s ORV3 rack solutions in this short video.

Eaton’s ORV3 racks and power provide high density solutions, efficiency and convenience.

Eaton’s OCP solutions fall under the rack and power subset of OCP standards, primarily addressing the new Open Rack V3 (ORV3) standards. Eaton will provide solutions to house and power ORV3 IT hardware, as well as transitional hybrid solutions that support both ORV3 21-inch equipment and traditional EIA 19-inch equipment. Eaton’s ORV3 solutions can be used off the shelf or as reference designs for customised solutions.

Eaton’s ORV3 rack solutions offer:

49U or 42U height
Flexible 19" (48cm) and 21" (53cm) mounting
With or without bus bar
With or without power shelf
Available preconfigured
Fully customisable

Busbar

OCP ORV3 rack busbar
The vertical ORV3 busbar distributes DC power from a power shelf to equipment mounted in the open rack through convenient blind-mate power connections.

Open rack enclosure

OCP ORV3 Open Shelf Doors Open
Based on an extra-wide and extra-deep cabinet with two locking colocation compartments, the open rack enclosure supports hybrid equipment mounting. Upper and lower sets of mounting rails are convertible to support 21-inch ORV3 equipment or traditional 19" (48 cm) EIA equipment, allowing the rack to support either standard or a mixture of both, which is the default configuration. The open rack enclosure is available with or without a built-in ORV3 busbar and ORV3 power shelf.

Power Shelf

ORV3 Power Shelf
The ORV3 power shelf provides up to 18 kW of DC power (15 kW N+1). It connects to the busbar through a convenient blind-mate power connection.

Versatility with power cords

OCP ORV3 universal AC connectors are detachable AC input power cords that connect to an ORV3 power shelf to support a variety of site power connections, including IEC and NEMA.

Have more control over your power distribution with the C39 outlet

The C39 outlet allows both C14 and C20 plugs to connect into a singular outlet and allows for both 15 and 20-amp inlets. The flexibility of this universal outlet enables you to swap out equipment without having the inconvenience of re-ordering a new rack PDU to meet specific outlet count requirements on a per rack basis.
