Insights on OCP hardware and circular infrastructure
The RackRenew blog covers the intersection of open hardware, infrastructure economics and circular IT. We write about what we see in the field: OCP adoption across EMEA, the Americas and APAC, real-world deployments of remanufactured hardware, and the market shifts that shape data center decisions.
You will find three types of content here:
- OCP news. Developments in the Open Compute Project ecosystem, from new platform releases to summit recaps and partnerships that move open infrastructure forward.
- Case studies. How organizations deploy remanufactured OCP hardware in production, with real numbers on cost, performance and carbon impact. Like Qarnot’s HPC deployment in Brescia, with a Phase 2 target of about 1,350 apartments served with recovered heat.
- Guides and analysis. Practical explainers on topics like embodied carbon measurement, IT asset redeployment and how to evaluate remanufactured hardware against new.
Everything is written by people who work with this hardware daily, backed by more than two decades of IT lifecycle expertise through Sims Lifecycle Services. Use the search above to find a specific topic, or browse the latest articles below.
